Visors join forces with Baltimore-bred, Tampa-based artist Brion Aiota for a cinematic reimagining of Primitive Radio Gods’ 1996 alt-rock cult classic, Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth With Money in My Hand. Released via Icons Creating Evil Art, the single transforms the original’s lonely, lo-fi reflection into a widescreen slice of retrofuturism — a haunting conversation between analog heartbreak and digital soul.

Built around a slow-burning hip-hop pulse and shimmering new-wave textures, Visors’ sleek production creates a dreamlike backdrop for Brion Aiota’s soulful delivery. His voice, steeped in both grit and grace, turns the familiar hook into something timeless — suspended between past and future, memory and signal.

“We wanted to capture that feeling of isolation in a hyper-connected world,” says Visors’ Jeff Martin. “The original song was about being lost in technology before the smartphone era — we’re revisiting that same idea now, when everyone’s always online but still standing outside, waiting for a connection.”

The collaboration sits comfortably as a bridge between the introspection of 90s alt-rock and the sleek surrealism of today’s indie landscape.

About Visors
Visors is a new-school, new wave re-imagination helmed by longtime industry vet Jeff Martin, a musician and producer whose sound has been shaped by years of touring on all sides of the pond. Martin re-connected with longtime friend Daniel Biltmore, a DJ/producer who signed on after spending over a decade of tutelage under Chad Hugo of The Neptunes/NER*D. Creating their own brand of retrofuturism along the way, Visors have been busy. Having worked with the likes of Bentley Rhythm Ace, YATTE, The Sugarcubes, Chrystabell, will.i.am, and Chad Hugo, there are no signs of slowing down.
