For Bad Years

**For Bad Years** is an upcoming EP from Jupiter De Milo, which is believed to be released sometime during 2021.

## **Background**

The idea of an EP was first mentioned by Jupiter on December 18th 2020 in a discord server [1]

During this time Jupiter mentions that she has written around half of a song and the EP was mentioned again the same day a few hours where she says she has been working on some more songs that she may put on an EP. [2]

Jupiter then proceeds to mention the EP again on Christmas Day of 2020 [3] saying that she has a temporary title for the EP, however she does not mention the title only saying that she doesn't want to get into it and keep it a surprise [4]

Jupiter doesn't mention the EP again until January 20th 2021 talking about a streaming party before the EP is released for people in the Discord server, allowing them to hear the EP early. [5] She then proceeds to mention releasing a single that will appear on the EP followed by Promotional Singles and mentions 7 Songs, none with proper titles (Song 1, Song 2, Song 3, etc.) and gives meanings of the songs [6] (message was edited into one image)

She then proceeded that for the EP she would like to do a yearbook photo for the artwork [7] and then later says the EP is about something that happened to her when she was 17 and remains very vague about what it was. [8] She also proceeded to send multiple demos of Winds (Song 7),

For Bad Years was not mentioned again until February 28th 2021, where she said she may have to delay the EP due to a surgery. [9]

Jupiter did not mention the EP for a few more weeks but on March 10th 2021 she said she had "like 20 projects in the works lmao, i'm focusing on releasing my first ep rn" to which someone responded in shock, asking when the EP is and she replied saying "i'm over exaggerating it's like 3 July".

It's unclear whether all these projects are music related, however at least two of the projects are music related, as on March 14th 2021, she said "I'm working on 2 EPs rn, one is out July and the other next February." The title for the EP in February is unknown, however could have a theme of love as it is being released in February, the month of Valentines Day, however this is pure speculation. [10]]

On March 28th 2021, Jupiter sent a 1 minute 49 second song titled 'Song 3' that lacked vocals and only had vocal effects and an instrumental. (On May 8th it was revealed that the title is Anathema as she sent a file called **Anathema**, which shares the same instrumental and vocal effects as the original file 'Song 3' however this version had vocals and was 4 minutes 30 seconds long.)

Jupiter went quiet on the EP after that however spoke about the release on April 15th 2021 after someone asked if the songs are finished, to which she responded with "they're close to finished, I'm planning on releasing an ep in July, I need to work on the final vocals for both." The songs she is referring to here are Anathema (Song 3) and Winds (Song 7). [11]

On June 5th 2021, Jupiter sent a photo of a wig that she said is for her EP cover. This could indicate a change in concepts, however this is pure speculation. [12] Later on June 9th when someone said pigtails in the sims 1 and 2 where like antennas and Jupiter said "wait your mind... - i'm goin an alien thing for my ep so - i'mma keep that in mind, ty" [13] A day later on June 10th, Jupiter said she had a corset in the works for her EP cover. [14]

On June 20th 2021, Jupiter clarified that For Bad Years is an EP because someone asked if it was an album. [15] She also stated that she intends to release it in late July but as of mid-July she has not announced anything on her social media regarding the EP.

As of July 2021, Jupiter has not announced her EP on any of her social media, meaning it has most likely been delayed.

## Possible track listing

This track list is in order of when they were shared and is not a final track list.

Winds (Song 7) - A song that Jupiter first sent a snippet of on January 20th 2021, and sounds it's nearly finished from the latest version she shared on April 16th 2021.

Synthetic Lemons - A set of lyrics Jupiter sent to a discord server on 20th January 2021 and more lyrics followed in March 2021

Simplify - A cover of a MARINA song, recorded in 2018 on a phone, meaning it is unlikely to appear on the EPs track list due to the date and mobile recording.

Something About A Phone Call - An unfinished song with no vocals, just an instrumental that was sent in a discord server by Jupiter, on January 20th 2021, she added that it was "something old", indicating it may not be intended for the EP.

Botticelli - A 1 minute long demo with rough vocals that was sent in a discord server by Jupiter, on January 28th 2021.

New\_Recording\_35 - Not a song necessarily, but it could be a sound effect for a song, Jupiter sent on January 28th 2021 and said "It's my water bottle\*

Anathema (Song 3) - Jupiter sent an instrumental that is 1 minute 49 seconds featuring vocal effects on March 25th 2021 to a discord server, which was later followed by a full version sent by Jupiter in low quality. She added "I think this is gonna be the final mix, the only last part I need to do for this is rerecord the vocals"

Song 4 - A 2 minute 10 second song Jupiter sent to a discord server on April 15th, however it is most likely a demo due to the rough vocals and the lack of a second chorus.

Dancing In The Moonlight - A cover of a King Harvest song that Jupiter sent to a discord server on May 6th 2021, however it lacks vocals and she said "I'm working on releasing this in august-ish" which falls outside the time of the EP's release, however could appear on the EP's final track listing.

Fast Car - A cover of a Tracy Chapman Jupiter sent to a discord server on May 6th 2021, it is only 41 seconds long and lacks vocals, she also said "I'm working on a possible fast car cover with Katie but I also have to finish my own music first before that's possible 😭" which could mean it is set to release after the EP

Song 5 - A 32 second snippet Jupiter sent to a discord server on June 3rd 2021. It cuts abruptly meaning there could be more to the song.
