Brooklyn-based rockers Great Caesar are known for their raucous live show, dazzling horn harmonies, and the crunching baritone of lead-singer, John-Michael Parker. Since their inception in 2003, the band has played hundreds of shows across the East coast, sharing stages with acts such as Deerhoof, The Decemberists, Third Eye Blind, Girl Talk, and Does it Offend You, Yeah.
Led by dynamic singer/songwriter Jeremy Freer, The Juliets utilizes orchestral instruments in a way that few other bands do. One reviewer defined the band’s characteristic sound as “baroque with backbone”, a phrase that deeply resonated with the band.
Deli Magazine writes of Illumtr: "The ancient Greeks thought that at night you could hear the music of the universe while staring at the stars. Nobody ever heard that music, but if it existed it would sound very much like this record. Cosmic."
