Album is out now via Soliti

Juppe releases his debut album, the gloriously titled Feeling Bad About Feeling Sad In The Happiest Country In The World. The album arrives on the 22nd Sept. 2023 via Soliti. FBAFSITHCITW reveals a lucid pop vision that mixes elements of keen songwriting with production that takes many turns and incorporates different elements from rhythmic juxtapositions to guitar blowouts. FBAFSITHCITW  fashions  smooth textures that never sound predictable. Topped off by Juppe’s dry and sardonic lyrical worldview, it’s an album to get lost in, that reveals more detail upon every listen.

Juppe discusses the album

“The album sounds kinda lonely to me now, even though it was very collaborative in nature. Good friends helped me make it. Best friends. I think I had the most fun I’ve had yet in the studio. I can hear that in there too.My process is pretty much just throwing stuff on the wall and waiting for a week. If I still remember that one song out of ten, it was probably pretty good. Phone audio memos are the most vital instrument I have.A lot of the lyrics deal with relationships, primarily the end of relationships.  I feel like the songs have a through line of worrying about things you should have or could have done.“

Advance word

“FBAFSITHCITW is an exciting adventure into the wonderland of pop, with the rabbit hole being surprisingly deep and mirrors constantly acting as passageways.” Desibeli

4/5 album review via Ilkka-Pohjalainen

SML”The Music is interesting, production catchy and surprising” – Soundi

“…the richness of the sound and development from every angle is interesting every time.” Niche Music

“Juppe, who makes the most original soul music in Finland” Rumba

“A mixture of deconstructed funk, post punk, and… of… an insolent happiness that explodes in our face, the Finnish musician Juppe, accompanied by a demented prod and a sax that slips through the interstices reminds us that life is good in Finland with his latest title “Happiest Country In The World”!” Djolo

“…wait until the back half spins this distorted noise-skronk stomp; there’s no boundaries in the band’s songwriting, which is something that means a lot to me these days. It’s a tune that works playfully, then fades with bombast, so interested to hear where the project goes from here.” Austin Town Hall

“”Fade” just makes our day! It sounds like it sprang out of the funk scenes of Philadelphia or Detroit in the late ’60s or early ’70s.” WYMA

“A small touch of soulful keyboards is the right amount of soul, but still the song is a beauty that most clearly belongs to the pop rock canon. Swings and swings, and the rockier cycle at the end is guaranteed not to leave you cold with its sound barrage” Desibeli.net

“Juppe mixes organic and representative sounds of specific decades, with hints of a 70s band and also the colours of 90s indie electronica and sardonic lyrics.” freim.tv

Finnish singer/songwriter Juppe mixes organic 1970s band flavours and 1990s indie electronica with sardonic lyricism. Releasing music with different projects and bands since 2014. Feeling Bad About Feeling Sad In The Happiest Country In The World is his debut solo album.
