Jupiter One

Possibly my favourite band of the year, Jupiter One have released the opening track from their Sunshower album, Volcano.

To put it simply, Volcano is an Indie-pop anthem and another great taster of an excellent band making fantastic music. Listen to them, become a fan and spread the word!

My love affair with Jupiter One is continuing apace. Normally, when I discover a band I really really like, I’m so absorbed in them that I forget to blog about them. So consider this a special effort to spread the word.

I got sent a review copy of Jupiter One’s latest studio album, Sunshower, last week. Since putting it onto my iPod, the album’s been playing constantly for the whole family. Sunshower is one of those rare delights - an album full of beautiful tunes that rarely hits a weak spot.

The songs range from upbeat, bounce-along indie-pop numbers to mellow acoustic tunes that exude more romance than any chart ballad you may have heard in the last ten years. Find Me A Place sees the band taking on a bluesy feel with the same understated delivery from lead vocalist K Ishibashi, and album closer People In The Mountain is a gorgeous masterpiece of acoustic fingerpicking.

OK, time for some new music, yes? Today I’m introducing you to hot New York five-piece Jupiter One. They’ve recently released their second full-length studio album, titled Sunshower, and they’re currently featured artists on the Indiefeed homepage (great website, by the way).

I want to focus mostly on the single, Flaming Arrow, and the amazing animated video that accompanies it. Have a listen, then read on…
