Jupiter in Velvet - In2 the Arms of Love

URL: https://www.jupiterinvelvet.com/home

In2 the Arms of Love’s ten songs are the best examples yet of Jupiter in Velvet’s unique modern guitar driven songs that he calls electro dance rock. There’s certainly an abundance of physical tempos capable of grabbing listeners from the first alongside a raw, but thoroughly modern production style and boisterous guitar. His musicianship has deceptive simplicity and a penchant for colorful articulation that most guitar players cannot boast. Jupiter in Velvet has a thorough vision for exactly the sort of music he wants to write, record, and perform. The message behind these songs, however, has an obvious importance to Jupiter in Velvet. This is a songwriter concerned with looking outside himself. His talent for writing and recording clearly serves two masters – the first is releasing the inner need he feels for self expression and the second, perhaps most important, is satisfying his desire to communicate a message he believes to anyone who will listen.

We The Dreamers release EP

The seven songs on We The Dreamers’ latest EP, headlined by its first single “Time”, are a testament to what a talented duo can accomplish with minimal backing. This is a band that doesn’t lay on a lot of unnecessary instrumentation. The guiding instruments on this set are keyboards of various ilk, synthesizers, voice, and guitar and We The Dreamers do a superb job of showing off various ways they can bring those elements in accord with one another. The guitar work cops a familiar sound, but We The Dreamers use Ethan Rose’s electric and acoustic playing in inventive ways that further enhance the electronic sheen percolating around nearly every song. This is a duo that will never confine themselves to a narrow line of attack. We The Dreamers, instead, are an artistic unit with a nearly boundless mandate to follow their Muse wherever she may lead them.
