cellardoor.mp3 & just martin’s debut single “Cold Rain October” has all the markings of a classic. Released on June 13th, 2025, the track commands attention with its authenticity, foregoing a generic or ‘fake’ sound that plagues much of this scene. Sweeping lyrics, paired with an airy but still direct energy on the vocals, lay on top of a crisp, clean, and minimalist instrumental to bring about an atmosphere that’s both mellow yet impactful. A clear inspiration from Post Malone and Kid Laroi, the duo creates a signature sound that feels similar yet is all their own. It’s not over-produced or ostentatious. It’s bare, it’s from the heart, and it’s honest. And you can hear every word they say. It’s why the track is so addictive.
Yet what sets this single apart is how personal it is. Crafted from the ground up, the project was entirely written and recorded by the two, with just the guitar recorded live in their hometown of Himberg near Vienna. These two aren’t just getting on a trend. They have been on the scene for years, going by the name murdsdrum, and even had tracks chart in the German Top 100 while also featuring on tracks from Central Cee and Capital Bra. But this is something different. cellardoor.mp3 & just martin step away from the hype and into a new lane with “Cold Rain October”. Not only do we get a new era and vibe for the two, but they show their more sensitive, private side to fans for the first time. It’s the feel of two old friends making music that comes from the heart and from living, not an AI-bot overloading generic chord progressions. It’s what music should be like. It’s the sound of cold rain on a grey October day. The sound of when you take a moment to your self and your thoughts cut a little deeper, your emotions a little thicker.
However, “Cold Rain October” isn’t just a single. It’s a whole debut. A subtle yet firm dip in the singer-songwriter pool, with some fantastic writing and raw emotion. It’s safe to say that this is just the beginning for these two, with announcements that they will release a new single every few weeks. However, even without that knowledge, ‘Cold Rain October” is a gem. cellardoor.mp3 & just martin aren’t just getting on the wagon. They are showing everyone else how to do it.
