You’re Jovian is the moniker of Elliott Malvas’s musical outlet. Writing songs under this name since 2008, You’re Jovian started playing shows in 2011. Through the course of time the band has seen a number of lineup changes keeping progress slim and producing random bursts of activity. The most recent line up, as of January 2016, started playing shows consistently and booking tours. Compared to various shoegazey bands such as Swirlies and Built to Spill, Elliott Malvas tries to capture soundscapes that represent the feelings of seasons. Live the band is more up-tempo/noisy resembling more of a raw presence that’s both loose and engaging. Since 2012, You’re Jovian has released a full length record ‘Stereochronic’ via Punkadelia records and a collection of demo’s through VA based label ‘Funny Not Funny Records’. There are plans to release a new record but no word through who and when.
