RECURRING DREAMS AND REALISTIC MEANS EP REVIEWS

"...'Recurring Dreams and Realistic Means' finds Jupitarsands finally achieving their full potential, producing an EP that produces their biggest sound yet, a big step up from the Vitamin Single of last year..."

"...In a time when lo-fi and acoustic acts are devouring the charts, Jupitarsands are resolutely swimming against the tide. Recurring dreams and realistic means is epic, and it sounds huge! I can't believe this band have come from nowhere to produce this!..."

"...This is a band that has entered a studio determined to get their money's worth. In the hands of a lesser band, Recurring dreams and realistic means could sound either ironic or silly. But here we have a 4-track gem!..."

"...The Get Out Clause builds and builds before kicking with a sound I have not heard in years, the sound of a rock band not afraid to be grandiose and aggressive. Caskets and Wombs flows in from the crunching finish of “The Get Out Clause”, the seething lyrics and machine precision grooves command your every attention whilst the bass threatens to hurt you and the strings cut through the mix to mould your emotions. The fast paced Resting place Crashes in a true rocker with time changes and biting vocals to boot. Then the finisher Back up/ Back off and finish you it does with a killer chorus and NIN-esque synths. Bring it on! This has it all, the massive production and great tunes. You fell exhausted after this 20-minute unrelenting roller coaster ride. This needs to be big!..."

--Robert Burrow, Fanzine
