Jupiter One - Platform Moon
[Cordless Recordings]

Gazing-disco meets thoughtful pop, with a mid-tempo chaperone on 'Platform Moon'. Expansive New Yorkers Jupiter One use their lightening-up of the lingering intro of The Music to build into a hazy, 'Life During Wartime' era Talking Heads reflecting sound.

'Platform Moon' sets to display a broadening out of the typical East Coast sound. This single immediately precedes the self-titled debut album and, of the four tracks on display here, it’s the five minute plus 'Album Version' that draws out an ambient and thoughtful edge.

Subtle percussion-leaning tendencies means that a 'Mark Saunders Remix Edit' oozes energy and distorts the vocals a little for increased atmosphere. An appreciation of 80s British pop will help the palatability of the rising quartet on this side of the Atlantic.
