about

The two gentlemen of quup blast out of the gates with nine spine-twisting, chair-pulling, hair-purling plate-spinners. quup have been called “comic strip ambient,” “county and Worcestershire,” “mulligan,” and straight-up “face thieves.” They’ve been to Jorma’s ranch and have the wet boots to prove it. They’ll sew you a cheongsam for lagniappe and that’s no mistake.

This long-player forks together twenty long years, four small states, and two sovereign nations into one heady heap, crowned with a single Blue Jackets commemorative cowbell. Sift out the seeds and watch them sprout—in your garden but OUT OF OUR GOURDS.

Recorded, mixed, and arranged by CR and JP.
Mastered by no one in particular.

CR – MIDI instruments, field recordings, piano, electronic piano, banjo, guitar, singing bowls, air organ, voice, whistling.
JP – MIDI instruments, field recordings, voice, melodica, banjo, guitar, bass guitar, mbira, electronic piano, ocarina, percussion, malfunctioning FruityLoops file.

The Familial Angry on voices, dishes, shuffling, questions, sleeping, and clanks throughout.

xoxoxo,
quup
