“In the Days Of Jupiter” is the 4th album from tri-state post-rock trio Lights Out Asia. Just as Jupiter eclipses the other planets in our solar systems,  Lights Out Asia have eclipsed expectations by delivering their most expansive album to date. Not only in relative scope and emotional depth but also in proper use of something they have used sparingly on previous albums - open space. Their previous use of guitars in a more deliberate melodic role is somewhat subdued on “In The Days Of Jupiter”. The guitars here are utilized more just to drive a point home with the strings, field recordings and electronics being more of a prominent, and key, ingredient. Hidden below these expanses is a new sense of urgency within the band's songwriting which may shed a bit more light into their collective personal persona. Is it unrest? Anxiety? Loss? Are they at some personal crossroads? Or have they cultivated their collective emotions into one of their finest works to date.

I've been checking the site everyday for the past 2 weeks for this and it's finally up! Obsession? Probably, but just listen and you'll understand why. This sounds really intriguing, very different from their previous material.

"Eyes Like Brontide" is still one of the best albums I've heard in my life. No other album has ever matched its morose magnificence. It’s not often I’m confronted with an album that speaks for itself so lucidly, so confidently, and so loudly.

But im sure, with no doubt in my mind, that there isn’t gonna be a sound system on the planet loud enough to do "In The Days Of Jupiter" justice!

Bring it on!

Oh - so excited. This sounds unbelievably rich and as though they have gone into a bit darker territory. It promises to be sublime.

This is exactly the kind of sound i hold n5md in such high regard for.

Can't wait to get a copy of my own.

Just listened to all the songs (and watched the video) for the first time this past Saturday. It sounds amazing, better than I could have hoped for. My most anticipated release of the year by far. I'll be purchasing it first thing on the day it's available.
