How would you describe the sound? What kind of pedals do you use and tell us more about the equipment within the band? “We’re obviously inspired sonically by all those great recordings from the mid 60’s through early 70’s” I think if you’re a fan of ‘Great Bright Horses’ you’ll hear some familiar things there, but there’s also an evolution. As far as comparing the two albums… It’s tough for me to say being so inside it. I’m really proud of that album, but I think we’ve definitely gotten better at the process. We were experimenting a lot with the recording process on ‘Great Bright Horses’ and learning the ropes as we went along. If anything I think the songs on the new album are a little more focused.

I wouldn’t say there was any intentional change in direction. It’s often difficult for us to all be in the same place at the same time…It seems to work best for us to get the basic tracks down with our drummer, Tom Arey, and then build everything else around that as we go.ĭid your approach change on your third album in comparison to your previous album, ‘The Great Bright Horses’, and on that note, how would you compare the two albums? Everyone in the band is busy with all sorts of other projects and responsibilities. I write and, for the most part, arrange the songs on my own and then send them to the band to learn and interpret. Our bassist Tom Lada is also a great recording engineer and we decided a while back that we wanted to take over the process ourselves, create our own mobile recording rig, and forgo the studio. We recorded the last two albums on our own in a DIY fashion. What’s the story behind working on the album and what can you tell us about your songwriting approach? Some great reviews in the UK, Germany and elsewhere and we’re pumped to be working with Nasoni Records to get the album out there. We planned on releasing the album digitally for our fans in the US and didn’t have a ton of expectations, so it was amazing to see it get some attention. We’re also pretty amazed by the response ‘Keepers of the Newborn Green’ has gotten, especially internationally. It’ll be the first time we’ve had an album issued on vinyl.

Since forming in 2011, Ghosts of Jupiter have released two full-length albums, and an EP. Track seven ‘Sea of Madness’ examines the influence of conspiracy theories, misinformation and anti-science sentiment that has made its way to the forefront of modern culture in recent years.

Other songs on the album, in particular ‘Imperium Waves’, and ‘On Bending Tides’, reflect the emotionally cathartic side effects that were born of the interruptions of our daily lives caused by the events of 2020. Thematically the album reflects some of the unavoidable political upheaval of the past few years, in particular the second track ‘Villians’ juxtaposes earthy medieval folk sounds with a critique of the toxic segmented realities created by modern media.
