Spacemoth has released the new single “Telepathic Butterflies” to preview an upcoming album titled Inward Eye [1, 2].
The release establishes the sonic direction for the project and builds momentum for the full album launch later this month. As an independent project based in Oakland, California [1], Spacemoth uses these singles to engage a growing listener base before the complete body of work arrives.
Spacemoth is the musical project of Maryam Qudus [1, 2]. The new single serves as the first glimpse into the textures of the forthcoming record, which is being released via Greenway Records [1, 2].
Critics have already begun analyzing the sound of the new track. A reviewer from Stereogum said “Telepathic Butterflies” rides a hypnotic pulse accented by squelchy sounds [2]. This suggests a move toward experimental or electronic elements within the project's evolving style.
Details regarding the album's arrival vary slightly between sources, though both agree on a late June timeframe. Under the Radar staff said the album, Inward Eye, is scheduled for release on June 26, 2024 [1]. Other reports indicate the album will drop toward the end of the month [2].
The project continues to operate out of Oakland, California [1], maintaining a regional connection while distributing through Greenway Records to reach a wider audience [1, 2].

The release of “Telepathic Butterflies” marks a strategic rollout for Maryam Qudus, using a lead single to define the aesthetic of Inward Eye before the full release. By partnering with Greenway Records, the Oakland-based project is positioning itself to transition from a local entity to a broader professional distribution network.
