audient_lang Love the sci-fi thread running through this album. Another interesting collaboration. One of the strongest featuring Mssrs Kilbey and Kennedy that I have heard yet. I wish the lyrics were published along with the music and imagery. I'd like to dig deeper into the thematic content of this and other albums. The track Holiday nearly brings tears to my eyes. Favorite track: Holiday.

about

INTRODUCTION BY STEVE KILBEY

Jupiter 13
A foreseeable calamity. A triumph of science.
The last straw. Not what you think it is.
A top secret. Mans basic inhumanity to man.
The impossibility according to physics. Events trigger matter.
An infinite regression. A preventable catastrophe in the future.
Investigations are underway. Call girls. Drugs. Photographs. Blackmail.
Theft of dangerous materials. The underworld. The dark web.
The manipulation of dream. The war we waged on each other and the aliens.
Ray Guns and particle acceleration. The charge that blew apart the mains.
Witchcraft and black magic. Playing around with Anti matter.
The ordinary man in the street, a day in his life.
The memory of phone calls never made.
Komarovski do you read me.
The colonel in the gentlemens club sloshed on gin. Debris orbits a tiny moon.
Richardson is on the phone: we wanna talk to you about Jupiter 13.
Yeah I bet you fucking do!
Still there is music. Attack...Decay... Sustain ... Release...
Richardson hangs up somewhere in the past.
Time travel has been happening but the yanks won’t give us our go.
And we chucked in all that money.
Martin prepares an escape pod which will double as his recording studio.
He will float unconscious dreaming up symphonies that will be recorded by the software encoded in his spine.
Stefan H in Germany will know our mission is over and will play
one last lasting sweeping arpeggio which will signal the curtains.
A disaster. A mistake. A miracle. A mystery. Jupiter 13.
One hundred years until they open the files.
Goodnight.
Im trapped in the airlock and theres no gravity.

PREVIOUS REVIEWS
VIA FOGHORN RECORDS

“Sumptuous meeting of Australian soundscaper and the head Churchman.” - MOJO
(4 STARS)

“Pink Floyd’s Meddle and Brian Eno’s Another Green World are some of the
signposts that could lead here. Yet one of the reasons we are still interested after all
these years is that a Kilbey record, in this case a Kilbey/Kennedy record, sounds just
like that rather than anyone else.” – Album Of The Week, Brisbane Courier Mail

“This is a record of often intricate interlaced layers. Sometimes you can see where
they overlap, but often it’s just a liquid whole” - themusic.com.au

“Slips psychedelically back into the dark ocean from which it came, ready to lap the
shore again at next listen.” – playbackstl

“The musical backdrop for You Are Everything is a tall, wide canvas and every inch
of it is filled with color. Intense” – Pop Matters

“Fans of The Cure, Interpol and The Church will want to make sure to get a listen of
the latest stellar release from Steve Kilbey & Martin Kennedy. The teaming of Kilbey
(long-time lead singer for The Church and writer of “Under the Milky Way”) and
electronica-styled composer Kennedy is an artistic fit like few others”
