LAST BAND ON JUPITER is a folk-rock quartet of men who, by any reasonable metric, should know better by now. Their debut album Far Worse Things is a collection of quirky, darkly humorous ballads surgically engineered to spark wonder while quietly unpacking a lifetime of undiagnosed abandonment issues. Songs like “Trade You for a Dirt Bike,” “Tonight We Dine on the Souls of Our Enemies,” and “Finger in the Pickle Jar” balance on a tightrope between wit and outright indefensibility, daring the listener to laugh before realizing they probably shouldn’t.
