Jupe Jupe

With waves of haunting synthesizers, crooning vocals, jagged guitars and pulsating beats, Jupe Jupe creates mournful pop music that moves. The Seattle quartet brings a darkly cinematic atmosphere to its three releases, “Invaders,” “Reduction in Drag,” and “Crooked Kisses”--creating infectious tracks influenced by British new wave, 60s European spy films and lonely, ghost-town Americana. The band teamed up with Martin Feveyear at Jupiter Studios (REM, Robert Fripp, Death Cab for Cutie, Modest Mouse) for two of its albums—plus a variety of renowned artists/producers for the remix album, “Cut Up Kisses” (featuring Lusine, Mike Simonetti, Rick G. Nelson, Erik Blood, Hanssen, and more). Jupe Jupe is made up My Young on vocals and synths, Bryan Manzo and Patrick Partington on guitars, and Jarrod Arbini on drums and percussion. The four members are veterans of the Seattle and Austin indie pop and prog scenes (Pleasurecraft, The Cinematics [U.S.], Maximum Coherence During Flying). Jupe Jupe has received regular airplay on 90.3 KEXP as well as over a hundred college radio stations across the US and Canada. “Crooked Kisses” and “Reduction in Drag” charted in the CMJ top 200 and the track "Pieces of You" was selected for the CMJ March 2014 Mix Tape. In October 2014, Jupe Jupe played the CMJ Music Marathon in NYC and the band's song "Love to Watch You Fall" (remixed by Lusine) was featured on the CMJ October Mixtape. With waves of haunting synthesizers, crooning vocals, jagged guitars and pulsating beats, Jupe Jupe creates mournful pop music that moves.
