OSI AND THE JUPITER - Appalachia FULL EP STREAM (Official Audio)

On ‘Appalachia’, enigmatic duo Sean Kratz (vocals, guitars, synths) and Kakophonix (cello) take us further into the unique landscapes that have been explored by Osi and the Jupiter since their formation in 2015. This time, they draw upon the surroundings of their homelands in eastern Ohio to weave dedications to the Appalachian region to which the title of this three-track EP is dedicated.

In honour of this more personal wellspring of inspiration, Osi and the Jupiter’s sound has evolved from the ambient soundscapes of yore into more direct expressions of yearning. Voice, ambient synth drones, acoustic guitar and cello underpin these delicate homage’s to a mysterious, myth-laden region. Kratz’s heartfelt, plaintive vocals speak openly of surroundings that clearly resonate deep within. Gentle strummed melodies support these tales, whilst the ever-inventive cello melodies of Kakophonix reach onwards to distant places as yet unseen.

‘They Ride Through the Sky on Horse Drawn Chariots’ sets the tone with dramatic swells, leading the listener by the hand into these new realms. ‘Appalachia‘ follows, replete with yearning vocals and delicate, countrified picking. ‘The Binding Will of Mountains’ closes this unique collection of songs with a twelve-minute journey throughout the myriad soundscapes.

Adoro ascoltarlo in bicicletta per il nord Italia, quando attraverso boschi illuminati e antichi borghi con le torri diroccate mentre le Alpi mi guardano da lontano. Grazie Osi and the Jupiter.

I always say "Its summer again and the roads are calling me." Then they sigh and ask "Where too this time?" And I always say "Down the old roads that always call me." But they will never understand.

Sean/Osi and the Jupiter comments about "Unto These Hills":
This song is about overcoming life’s obstacles and learning from your past. Getting through hard times and finding a spiritual awakening. Lighting a fire inside one’s self and treading this path. For me, it’s going to these mountains and finding my awakening there and coming back a better person inside and out.
