to seasons ever-changing 
i am much obliged
so many forms been taken
shed, and thrown aside

paper roses
rest in peace
though my hopes
lie withered on the vine
i wait on bended knee

premonitions 
gone awry
i’ve seen meadows
overgrow with time
but never cease to be

beneath the black-eyed sun
phantoms drift away
and chase the kestrel singing
hollow forms astray

paper roses
let me be
though my thoughts grow cold
from day to day
i want to make you see

premonitions
gone awry
i’ve seen meadows overgrow with time

Paper Roses

i can see when i touch the fuse
body blows turning black and blue
i’m a leper when the shades are drawn
but i won’t let it all 
drag me down this time

i see red cause i know it’s true
whisper voices all undermine
you won’t hand me an axe to grind
but i won’t let it all
drag me down this time

come in closer
listen to me 
see the places i have bled
you play like children
trample on daisies
then you tell me it’s in my head

Trample on Daisies

Boston based neo-psychedelic rock band Ghosts of Jupiter will release their second full length album The Great Bright Horses on October 11th, 2016. The release will be accompanied by a run of live dates around New England, with appearances in Worcester MA, Cambridge MA, Portland ME, and Dover NH. 

Formed in 2011 and led by singer/composer and multi-instrumentalist Nate Wilson, Ghosts of Jupiter achieved regional success with their self-titled debut release. The album was received with critical acclaim and was followed by live appearances with Blue Öyster Cult, moe., Robert Randolph and the Family Band, the Buffalo Killers and Dead Meadow. In 2012 the band teamed up with Boston’s Museum of Science to create Ghosts of Jupiter: Music Experience, a fully immersive music and animation film which recalled the laser-light show era of classic rock’s yesteryear. The show ran for over a year at the Charles Hayden Planetarium in Boston, and has since been shown at planetarium festivals in Auckland, New Zealand and Boulder, Colorado. 
On their second independent full-length release The Great Bright Horses, Ghosts of Jupiter’s latest effort draws upon the experimental flute-prog of Traffic and King Crimson, the exploratory elements of Meddle-era Pink Floyd, and the modern psychedelia of Tame Impala, Midlake, and Dungen.
The 9 tracks on The Great Bright Horses were self-produced by the band over the course of two years. Foregoing the use of a traditional recording studio, the band utilized their own portable equipment to record in rustic spaces across rural Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire. The album was recorded, mixed and engineered by bassist Tommy (“Steve Dave”) Lada. According to bandleader Wilson,  “We wanted to see what we could do if we had complete control over the process from start to finish, with the freedom to take risks, and lack of any real constraints of time or money. It started out as an experiment just to see if we could do it ourselves, but the results are a huge step forward for the band, and the process was more satisfying than any other recording I’ve ever been a part of.”
