Jupe Jupe
'Headlong To Ground' Single Out 18th July
Mix analog synths, indie-glam guitars, pulsating beats and you have Jupe Jupe. "Headlong To Ground," is the band's newest single, a sleek, multi- layered soundscape fueled by generations of pop music and pop culture.
- (1888PressRelease) July 24, 2012 - After hunkering down for nearly a year to write and record numerous tracks, the band turned to Martin Feveyear of Jupiter Studios who has worked with a multitude of acts including REM, Modest Mouse, Robert Fripp, and Cornershop to help engineer and produce the single and its B-side.
Jupe Jupe is composed of My Young on vocals and synthesizer, Bryan Manzo and Patrick Partington on guitar, and drummer Jarrod Arbini-veterans of the Seattle and Austin music scenes. Their first CD, "Invaders," released in 2010, spent over a month in the CMJ top 200, received rave reviews internationally and resulted in licensing offers including Hugo Boss, The Gap and "Keeping Up with the Kardashians,"
"It's clear that there's a whole array of pop influences from across the decades thrown into Jupe Jupe's melting pot" Glasswerks
"Jupe Jupe bring together the matter-of-factness of Pulp with the gritty but somehow twinkling soundscape found in the songs of Modest Mouse" Alt Sounds
"... weird and wonderful...Well worth searching out." - My Old Kentucky Blog
"Jupe Jupe deliver their pop punch with a heavy dose of electro-casual finesse...Bits of glam are lipsticked on to some of the songs, giving them a nice edge, and the guitar hits with perfect shots of electricity."
- Big Takeover
"... an album that will surely prove to be one of the finest local records you will hear in 2010."
Seattle Rock Guy/NadaMucho
