Belarusian alternative rock outfit Mission Jupiter returns with their latest single, “Bittersweet (Love song),” released May 23rd via Label 51 Recordings. This marks the fifth track unveiled from their upcoming full-length album Aftermath, set to drop on June 20th. The new release follows a powerful string of singles, “Sometimes It Hurts,” “Human Nature,” “Self-Destruction,” and “Crippled Country,” each adding emotional weight and sonic depth to the album’s unfolding narrative.
Regarding the single, the band explains: “It is about a woman who thinks about her perfect man and visualises their romantic relationship”, the band explains. “She hasn’t found him yet, but already has butterflies in her stomach. What an inspiring feeling!”
Formed in Minsk, Mission Jupiter has carved out a distinct space in the modern rock landscape with their cinematic sound, where brooding atmosphere meets soaring melodies. Their music blends elements of alternative and progressive rock, painting vivid emotional landscapes that feel both intimate and epic.
What began as an experimental project has since evolved into something much larger and more refined than its creators imagined. A unique element of the band’s identity lies in its diversity: each member brings distinct musical influences, resulting in compositions that defy convention and explore unexpected territory.
With two acclaimed albums already under their belt (Architecture in 2018 and Talk To Me in 2021), the band enters a bold new chapter with vocalist Kate Varsak at the helm. Her commanding presence has elevated their sound to new heights, and Aftermath promises to be their most ambitious and emotionally resonant work yet. If the singles are any indication, Mission Jupiter is on the brink of something extraordinary. Presale link is here.
