Mercury Slim – Space Cadet
Mercury Slim has officially released his new video for the song titled ‘Space Cadet’. This song, and video come to think of it, have that ethereal quality from that first frame/note. Almost a subtle journey to be shared. A dream state in transit. A personal journey of bonding and growth. Its funny how life can inspire, and even encourage, the magic in music and share that with anyone who wants to listen. In that way alone, we are all connected. We’re all the space cadet. Our goal is to live long and prosper.
About ‘Space Cadet’
I wrote this song while living in a Van on a rainy day
The song is very multi-faceted and takes on Many roles rather than being about any one thing in particular. I continue to find new meanings as time marches on. Space Cadet about rejecting everything culture and society hands you as what you are supposed to be. As well as rejection of the consumerism and ideology that drives a lot of what’s harming people and the planet we live on. The chorus/ hook is a release from societal expectations.
I became a huge Star Trek (particularly TNG) fan after high school and it has shaped how I view the world and what is possible for humanity in a post-scarcity society. On another facet, my father and I began working together right after I got out of high school and he drove the company work van.
Once I got into Star Trek, which he was already into, it became something we bonded over and we were able to connect in a positive healthy way really for the first time in our lives. He had been gone for half of my childhood battling addiction and was able to overcome what he needed to come back into my family’s life. We named his work van the NC-17D and it was kind of our ship to drive around and solve mysteries (doing IT work) in.

of1000faces – Anaira
of1000faces has premiered the new video for the track titled ‘Anaira’ on Jammerzine. of1000faces, aka Matt Walker, has that wonderfully atmospheric beat-driven sound that announces his music even to the most unfamiliar listener.
The video is a lush mix of retro-sci-fi that compliments the music and gives it that soundtrack quality paying homage to that genre in its first heyday circa the late 1950s. On many levels, it works. It gives you that nostalgic sense while looking forward to hopefully better days. This is what it’s all about.
‘The Infinity LIne’ LP is out now digitally across online stores such as Apple Music and streaming platforms such as Spotify and Bandcamp. The ‘Astronomica’ album is also out on all the same sites, previewed by this sampler video spanning the full album.
ABOUT OF1000FACES
of1000faces is the solo project of Matt Walker, a renowned drummer, and producer who has worked with some of alternative music’s most iconic artists. For 25 years, he has toured and recorded with Morrissey, Smashing Pumpkins, Garbage and Filter, all the while dedicating himself to myriad side projects, independent bands, and film/tv work.
Known for his obsessive writing and recording while on tour, Walker eventually decided to pursue a more singular and personal endeavor. Thus was born of1000faces, the moniker reflecting the project’s inherent premise and, at the same time, a nod to Joseph Campbell’s ‘Hero of 1000 faces’.
“ANAIRA is inspired in part by an epic science-fiction poem called ‘Aniara’ by Harry Martinson, which is about humans turning to space for refuge from a ravaged Earth. The piece is meant to convey a sense of determination and tenuous hope,” says Matt Walker.
“The video is a collage of Soviet Era science fiction films, edited into a series of space-age vignettes. Though the retro-futuristic look of these films is a great match for the music, I think the video’s real message is the vision and tenacity of these pioneering filmmakers.”
Following his ‘Astronomica’ album and video for lead track ‘Astronomica’, ‘The Infinity Line’ is the second long-play in his expansive instrumental ‘Monomyyth’ trilogy. An eclectic instrumental album with ambient DNA, it is less passive than its predecessor, the dynamic scope widened, and the general mood darker and more evocative.
