Listen Here – Out Now!
In a world teetering on the edge of ecological collapse, Ice Cap Babies, a mysterious eco-pop collective, burst onto the scene with their provocative debut single, A Scorched Earth (ain’t no summer place), released, July 25, 2025. This pop anthem is a clarion call to action, weaving a summery vibe with a chilling warning about humanity’s environmental reckoning.
Rooted in the haunting Native American proverb, When the last tree’s cut, when the last fish caught, when the last river poisoned, only then we’ll realise that we can’t eat money, the track’s infectious chorus, you can’t eat money, pulses with urgency. Ice Cap Babies amplify this message through their support of Music Declares Emergency’s No Music on a Dead Planet campaign, a bold stand against environmental destruction. The accompanying video which currently has 25k views is a visual gut-punch, featuring poignant paintings by Ukrainian refugee children that underscore the human cost of global crises.
Musically, A Scorched Earth (ain’t no summer place) is a masterstroke, blending the nostalgic warmth of Max Steiner’s classic Theme from a Summer Place with apocalyptic lyrics that jolt the listener from complacency. The result is a sonic paradox, a breezy, sun-soaked melody wrapped around a stark warning of a planet on the brink.
Behind the enigmatic veil of Ice Cap Babies are two industry titans: a multi platinum producer with credits including Steps, Westlife, S Club 7, and Samantha Mumba, and an award winning, UK Top 15 songwriter, producer, and poet. For two decades, they’ve mentored generations of artists who’ve stormed the charts, but with Ice Cap Babies, they shun the spotlight. Choosing anonymity, they let the message take center stage, urging listeners to heed the collective call for change over chasing individual fame.
