Formed in 2016, Osi and the Jupiter has been steadily crafting a unique sound that blends Nordic folk traditions with the evocative storytelling of Americana

Rooted in acoustic instrumentation, their music features intricate melodies and soulful vocals that resonate deeply with listeners. The band has toured the US and Europe and contributed music to the Vikings series on Netfix, further cementing their connection to Norse mythology.

Larvatus marks a return to the band's earlier, more mystical sound, evoking the haunting qualities of albums like Uthuling Hyl and Nordlige Runaskog. This album, which began taking shape during the uncertain years of 2020 and 2021, refects the emotional turbulence of the pandemic. Despite the chaos surrounding its creation, Larvatus is a demonstration of resilience and its introspective and contemplative nature offering a sense of refuge amid a world in fux.

Over the past two years, Larvatus has been carefully revisited, refned, and expanded. The album has taken on new layers of complexity, enriched with the addition of Kakophonix's stunning cello work, which adds an ethereal depth to the intimate soundscapes. The fnal mix, done by Greg Chandler at Priory Recording Studios, brings out the full emotional resonance of the music, ensuring the band's earthy, organic style is preserved while allowing every instrument and vocal to shine with clarity.

At its core, Larvatus explores the passage of time, the fragility of existence, and the quiet power of nature. It invites listeners to refect on their place in the world and fnd solace in the timeless tradition of folk music. The fusion of Nordic folk melodies and Americana storytelling creates a rich listening experience, staying true to the band's signature blend of ancient sounds and modern sensibilities.

With Larvatus, Osi and the Jupiter offers a soundtrack for those seeking comfort in difcult times, reminding us that even in the darkest moments, music can provide solace, connection, and a sense of healing. It is a celebration of the enduring power of music to unite and inspire, inviting listeners on a deeply personal journey into the heart of both nature and self.
