- Bio: Sunshower can be rare occurrence, but when these opposing forces meet, magic and allure is in theair. 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 mixedwith 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 bassline 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 thedisc’s best choruses. Singer K Ishibashi conjures The Shins on “Find Me a Place,” and he dropsvintage, finger-picking folk on “People in the Mountain…”. The single “Flaming Arrow,” a shimmeringacoustic folk tune shot through with a bumping bass line and a groove, borders on bossa nova. Thisgenre-bending approach creates a hook-heavy opus well suited for our A.D.D. times.
