On their fourth full-length album "Stave", Osi And The Jupiter provide
listeners with a unique journey through the delicate sounds of what may
have been believed to be long lost; allowing for a truly immersive
experience that is informed by the innate mysticism still dwelling
beneath the surface of their native Appalachian region of eastern Ohio.

The sounds explored on "Stave" seem simultaneously comforting and
harrowing, as they confront listeners with a sonic palette they may at
first consider foreign and detached from the comforts of the modern world.
Upon allowing oneself to delve fully into these sounds however,
listeners will inevitably come to realize that "Stave" provides access
to a realm modern man may have forgotten, but that nevertheless lurks
all around us for those willing to open their minds and ears. As such,
the occasional vocalisations of Sean Kratz (vocals, guitars, synths)
serve as an earnest expression of respite, accompanied by gently
strummed acoustic guitar and atmospherics.

However, "Stave" showcases Osi and the Jupiter's expanding and
increasingly ambitious artistic expression, as they have managed to fuse
the elements of their sound that listeners have become accustomed to
since the project's inception in 2015 with diverse, expansive sonic
depth, provided by carefully crafted synth work and further acoustic
instrumentation. These elements are held together by Kakophonix's sombre
cello performance and the highly expressive string work throughout the
album, which regularly serve as the foundation upon which the more
expansive elements are built.

Throughout "Stave", stark rhythmic pulses provided by deep percussion
and accentuated strumming patterns serve as a form of ancient pulse that
grips the listener and draws him or her further into Osi and the
Jupiter's world. In essence, this album serves as a soundtrack to times
long forgotten and a form of spirituality that transcends conventional
modern religion, allowing the listener to be transported to a realm they
may have never been aware of, but that is nevertheless immediate and
engrossing. The custom artwork for "Stave" serves as the ideal visual
component for the audio journey Osi and the Jupiter have created.

"Stave" was recorded in Odinic Studios by Osi and the Jupiter, while
Greg Chandler of Priory Recording Studios provided a gentle hand in some
audio mixing and performed mastering duties.
The album`s cover & booklet artwork is custom work done by Natalia
Nowacka / Extinct Sacrif.
