Jupiter are based in Paris. The boy/girl duo have recently moved there from London where they met on an empty dancefloor. It must have been fate (or their love for retro hits) that brought them together to write songs so deeply rooted in times when Prince was still known and glitter wasn't a taboo.
Quarles and Amelie are part French (the romance in their music!), part English (the lyrics!) but get along pretty well. Their songwriting and production clearly takes the best of both worlds, earning them appraisal and appreciation of the Valerie family. The song "Starlighter" has been getting a lot of attention in the blogosphere and grew to become a minor hit since it was first leaked. It's catchy, it's dreamy, it's sticky and it's sweet.
Now, after official remixes for Metronomy, Anoraak and Chew Lips, Jupiter are preparing their first EP, which is to be released in September 2009, containing remixes by Thai pop sensation Cyndi Seui, Steve Moore (aka Lovelock, aka Zombi) and Bottin (Italians Do It Better). Get ready for sheer bliss!
