The First Time I Saw Jupiter vinyl

As DFA settle into the landmark of ten years of business, the label seems quite content to challenge people's preconceptions over what they should be releasing. When they stumble upon music as interesting as Fall On Your Sword, it's clearly an approach that should be applauded. This two track debut from the duo formed of Will Bates and Phil Mossman features extended versions of arrangements that were included on their OST for the film Another Earth, with a sonic poise that draws heavily on expansive soundscapes. Lead track "The First Time I Saw Jupiter" steadily grows from the icy dystopia into a melange of twisting synth tones, sulphuric drips of acid and desolate electronics. "Rhoda's Theme" is the more epic and hopeful accompaniment, a forceful beat making its way through the cloudy masses of keys, riding a rigid industrial sized electronic bass tone towards the sky.
