Strap in. LunaRover—the brainchild of Maryland-based Kevin Rieth and Ben Pelletier—is about to launch your ears into the stratosphere with their upcoming single “Little Things,” dropping February 5th, 2026. This is a DIY-space-rock mission built in basement studios, and it’s got more texture than a battered guitar case.
Let’s talk crew. Kevin Rieth handles vocals, synth, bass, guitar, and samples. Ben Pelletier throws down on vocals, synth, and samples. These two are longtime collaborators who built this track asynchronously from their home setups, which is a fancy way of saying they made this beast on their own time, on their own terms. They then handed off the raw sonic lava to be mixed by Adrian Olsen at Montrose Recordings and mastered by the legendary Dave McNair, giving it a polish that doesn’t dull the edge, just sharpens it.
The song’s heart is rock solid: it’s about learning to love the small, gritty details in a relationship as it grows. But the execution is where LunaRover detonates the dynamite. In the second verse, a heavenly choir sound swells in, all layered by Rieth himself. Then, Pelletier fires up a NASA sample and runs it through a glitch generator, creating a mind-bending, otherworldly “solo” section after the first chorus. This is the kind of no-rules, basement-lab innovation that moves music forward. They didn’t have a studio exec telling them “no”; they had a glitch generator and an idea, and they blasted it into the song.
“Little Things” is innovative rock for those who want their music with both hooks and horizon-breaking sounds. LunaRover might be a recording project only, but with a track this massive, they don’t need a stage—they’ve built a whole damn launchpad. Your playlist needs this jolt.
