Jupe Jupe is set to release its new album King of Sorrows on February 7, 2026 on vinyl, digital download and streaming. Ahead of that event the Seattle-based post-punk band released the single “Cane.” The song seems to be an account of being in a place in your life where you put up your defenses to avoid getting hurt emotionally but get caught up in a moment of vulnerability and realize that always being on the psychological defensive is a habit that limits your possibilities as a human. The icy synths, the soaring, passionate vocals, the slight edge to the moody guitar and urgent rhythm are reminiscent of both The Chameleons and Comsat Angels and how both bands could use dark atmospheres and bright melodies to craft a song that honored one’s sensitivity and hurt while inspiring oneself to risk the perils of the world and reach for fulfilling experiences.
