- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
Sunshower can be rare occurrence, but when these opposing forces meet, magic
and allure is in the
air. This is exactly why the NYC-based rockers, Jupiter One, chose the title
(inspired by the Japanese
short film Dreams by Akira Kurosawa) for their upcoming Ryko album. Their
far-out freshness mixed
with timeless musical inspirations mesh together in a bittersweet indie-pop
rock concoction produced
by the group and noted engineer Chris Ribando (The Black Crowes, Priestbird,
Mary J. Blige).
Jupiter One has a knack for unifying their contemporary style with a range of
musical influences. For
instance, the dancefloor-friendly Simple Stones, filled with handclaps and
soulful riffs, boasts a bass
line for the all ages while blending 80s Rolling Stones and MGMT. The epic
opener Volcano
resurrects the youthful spirit of the Beach Boys with The Flaming Lips, while
delivering one of the
disc s best choruses. Singer K Ishibashi conjures The Shins on Find Me a
Place, and he drops
vintage, finger-picking folk on People in the Mountain... . The single
Flaming Arrow, a shimmering
acoustic folk tune shot through with a bumping bass line and a groove,
borders on bossa nova. This
genre-bending approach creates a hook-heavy opus well suited for our A.D.D.
times.
