Down with the Setting Sun is the fourth single from King of Sorrows, the upcoming album from Jupe Jupe who continue to define their type of melodic post punk through a darkwave undertow, with brooding synths and serrated guitars against strong rhythms and a baritone vocal that sounds imposing.
The new song feels like a piece of romantic despair, and at the same time it represents the sound of acceptance as it turns into resolve. Jupe Jupe walk straight into their darker mood, with a sense of approachability present.
Down with the Setting Sun is about connection and intricate relationships. Guitar and bass spiral endlessly through the song's structure, sharp and unrelenting, locked into tribal drums that feel like summoning. The second guitar and the synths strike in flashes, pushing the song deeper into the dark, where the narrative continues to develop, focusing on the notion that people are responsible for the emotional damage they inflict on each other.
