Red Curtain says:
Contemporary art rock band Above Jupiter is back with their second full-length album, and first after signing with Red Curtain Records. Described by The Memphis Flyer as “a beat-driven soundscape with equal parts slashing guitar, skronky synth, and cool singing that lives in a kind of timeless pop utopia,” Abscission expands on the sound of their self-titled debut with elements of lofi, R&B, nu-jazz, and progressive influences. The result is a more mature sound, which says a lot about a band whose members are all still in high school.

Abscission is a conceptual album that tells the story of main characters Eleanor, McNeil, Evergreen, and Elise, with each song offering a view into the Shakespearean-style tragedy that unfolds as the album progresses. A special edition of the lilac-colored vinyl LP includes a zine booklet that tells the story through lyrics, paintings, and prose.

Departing from their first LP’s home studio produced approach, the band knew these songs would benefit from the analog warmth of a professional studio, and they found the perfect home at Memphis Magnetic Recording Co. All songs were tracked live in the room using the studio’s collection of vintage instruments, giving the album a timeless sound that complements the craftsmanship of Above Jupiter’s songs.
