Jupiter Sprites Announce Holographic LP

August 14, 2020 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

As I continue to stay mostly locked inside my house with my family, I’ve definitely adjusted, embracing musical pieces that encourage calm and wonderment. Such is the new pieces accompanying the announcement of Olympia’s Jupiter Sprites new LP, Holographic. In the presser for this one, the band share a story that forced them to go back and peel back layers of texture in the track in order to come to this final version. For me, it seems they hit the perfect note, as it’s got just enough elements blanketing the track to give it a hint of mystery, but never coating the song’s pop tendencies; it’s unassuming in nature, but not passive…more of a subtly captivating number that takes over your headspace as you gaze into your crystal ball of the world. Holographic drops October 16th.

Another Pop Number from Jupiter Sprites

January 18, 2019 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I’ve written about Jupiter Sprites, and now that we’re making our way to the morning, its time for some more thoughtful fare, something slightly dreamy, something new from the Seattle outfit. I like the happy, almost yacht-rock vibe of the guitars, meanwhile the keyboards wash the whole track in this most tranquil vibe. The vocals are perfect, they match both moods, the lightness of the guitar and the dreaminess of the electronic vibe, and at times, they almost come in like an added instrument…if you’re willing to let yourself go. You’ll hear this track on the group’s self-titled EP, which drops on February 1st.

Dreamy Pop from Jupiter Sprites

December 13, 2018 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

You all know how I love a good bit of dream-scape with my pop music, and this Jupiter Sprites tune definitely hits the spot. The guitars initially seem like they’ll be offering up some brighter future for us all, jagged and bright from the get-go. But, once the vocals come in, layered and atmospheric, the song’s bent turns into the depths of your subconscious. It does keep with a nice contrast, as the guitars beneath still seem to be battling the voices…all the way through to the electronic flourishes near the song’s last third. If this is up your alley, then look for the band’s self-titled EP out on February 1st.
