LinkedinLocal band Lunar Kites have teamed up with BBC Oxford’s Geraldine Peers on a cosmic new single.
Space rock outfit Lunar Kites are blasting off again, with a new single featuring a familiar local voice.
The Oxfordshire–based band have teamed up with former BBC Oxford presenter Geraldine Peers for their latest release, The Final Voyage of the P7E, out now on all major streaming platforms.
Inspired by Greek mythology and the cult 1978 Doctor Who serial Underworld, the track sees Geraldine lending her unmistakable vocals as the goddess Demeter, searching the afterlife for her lost daughter Persephone.
It’s a spoken-word performance rather than a sung one – much to her relief, she jokes – but it adds a dramatic, cinematic layer to Lunar Kites’ signature cosmic sound.
“I was delighted when the band asked me to appear on their new single,” she says. “It definitely makes a change from reading the news.”
The collaboration builds on an existing friendship. Geraldine previously helped the band shoot their first music video in 2024, and Lunar Kites were keen to return the favour.
The accompanying video – filmed with tongue firmly in cheek – is already proving popular online.
Formed in 2023, Lunar Kites’ members hail from Oxford, Lewknor, Witney and Didcot.
Last summer (as featured here) they wowed music-lovers with a Doctor Who–themed gig in East Hagbourne before closing out the year with a show at Oxford’s O2 Academy.
Their debut album The DoomStar Chronicles is due for release this year. Find out more, listen and play at lunarkites.com
