Prepare to be launched into a sonic stratosphere where funk collides with rock in a kaleidoscope of psychedelic energy. Mothership Radio, the electrifying six-piece band from Brooklyn, is set to unleash their debut album, Gravity is Situational, on May 22, 2025. This is no ordinary record; it’s a vibrant, genre-bending odyssey that captures the raw magic of a band born to shake the universe.
Formed just over a year ago in the heart of Brooklyn, Mothership Radio is a musical supernova. Fronted by the powerhouse vocals of Ria Burns-Wilder, the band channels a cosmic blend of rock and funk, driven by Jim Cooney on guitar, Chas Mayer on lead guitar, Angelo Miliano on keyboards, Pete Smeding on bass, and Emerson Williams on drums. With an additional horn section amplifying their already massive sound, the group has crafted a debut that’s as bold as it is infectious. Every track on Gravity is Situational was written, recorded, and mixed by the band in the past year, all while lighting up stages across NYC with their transcendent live performances.
Gravity is Situational is a testament to the band’s fearless exploration of sound. Pulsating rhythms and mind-bending melodies weave through each song, creating a listening experience that feels like a journey through a psychedelic galaxy. From gritty guitar riffs to funky grooves that demand movement, the album is a celebration of musical freedom and the band’s undeniable chemistry.
