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, released in 2023, was his debut solo album.
Juppe releases his 2nd album – Fun! And How To Have It . An eclectic mix of indie pop, rock, funk and anything in between with Juppe’s penchant for wry observations on life at their usual high standard.
Juppe tell us of his new album “Having fun* for me is all about allowing yourself to be playful. J. Huizinga and his Homo Ludens probably agree! Letting myself play was really the guiding thought for me through this album. I think this will be the foot I’ll keep putting forward in the future. These sort of “revelations” can easily sound kind of trite, but I think that’s the bedrock you need to build fancier stuff on haha.I suppose no one wants to buy greeting cards filled with Hegel quotes?
*Whether in love, art, games, sport, hieroglyphics, limnology… I think you get the idea.”
“Juppe bobs and weaves in between the notes, letting his voice crest and fall to maximize the playfulness.” Austin Town Hall
““Woozy” proves that sometimes the most profound statements emerge from admitting you have nothing profound to say. Juppe has created something that works as both time capsule and present-tense experience, capturing a specific moment while suggesting universal truths about friendship, boredom, and the strange comfort found in shared purposelessness.” B-Side Guys
“The soundscape and vibe of the song are effectively absorbing.” Lattialla (video review)
“Juppe, the best indie soul in Finland, releases a new summer hit” Rumba
“Playful and entertaining are the two words I would best use to describe Woozy by Juppe. The song starts and glides along with such ease that you just have to jump up and join in” We Love that Sound
“…it’s like, “Who’s looking forward to receiving a letter saying that they’ve released a new song?”” Niche Music
” Juppe ‘s “Woozy” is a quintessential morning song. It’s 2.10 minutes of pure good vibes” Zona Emergente
“…a sharp blend of lo-fi rock, indie rock and indie pop that balances raw edges with infectious melodies.” Rmas
“The underlying synth-played melody could have been taken out of the 1990s British TV children’s series Teletubbies while the overall ambiance of the song is one of a fun band like Haircut 100 or its singer-cum-solo-artist Nick Heyward. And produced by Malcolm McLaren. If that doesn’t pique your interest, nothing will.” Nordic Music Central
“It’s an experimental pop track at heart thanks to the songs infectiously catchy side and its anxious energy.” Mix it all Up
“With “Woozy,” Juppe delivers pop that’s both mischievous and moving. True to his trademark—lyrics that are both cynical and tender, driven by a catchy melody—he takes the experience a step further.” Novorama
“The vibrant style that will never let you escape is ready for you” Pop Punkers
