Short info:
Pupkulies & Rebecca, a three person musical collective whose members Janosch and Rebecca Blaul as well as Sepp Singwald reside in Würzburg and Berlin have developed into a veritable force in the European club scene due to their recent releases and largely through word of mouth. They have gained a firm foothold in the electro scene due to numerous live gigs throughout Europe, remix of their songs from notable artists like Masomenos, Marek Hemann and Guti and also remix requests from artists including AKA AKA und Oliver Schories. Their healthy mixture of electronic and acoustic sounds draws on influences that go back to the dawn of time revealing them for audible perception. Doing so they enrobe chanson and folk in more modern attire and sensitively combine these music styles with pulsing synthesizer bass lines, house grooves and the aesthetic of modern club music. With their new project the African continent has been incorporated in the form of the West African archipelago the Cape Verde islands where the musical roots as well as the native Portuguese based Creole language are explored. On their new Album "Tibau" to be released by normoton on the 04.10.2013 Pupkulies & Rebecca combine their own method of approach with the traditional Cape Verdian singer songwriter approach. Janosch Blaul grew up on the Cape Verde islands where his parents worked as development aids and his connection to the islands is strong to this day. The connection pertains especially to Tibau Tavares a singer songwriter who became a member of Pupkulies & Rebecca for this album. The interplay between the two differing musical worlds combined perfectly when the collective complete with recording equipment and instruments visited Tibau Tavares in his home town for four weeks of which "Tibau" is the audible proof. An energy loaded pop album which dares the balancing act between modern club and traditional world music while still maintaining a unique identity. Rebecca and Tibau who equally share the vocals give the impression that they are a long time experienced duo. The synthy landscapes and bass tracks from Sepp Singwald build a counterpart to Tibaus acoustic guitar and bestow the album with a modern sound aesthetic without deriving from the source of the song. It´s all held together by Janosch Blauls arrangements and percussions which originate mainly from field recordings from the Cape Verde islands giving the songs the typical Pupkulies & Rebecca club character. The album is rightly named "Tibau" because the influence of Tibau Tavares is significant and omnipresent. He has already made a name for himself in the Cape Verde music scene with artists like Lura, Gabriela Mendes.

Pupkulies & Rebecca joined forces with African singer and guitarist Tibau Tavares to deliver this exotic groove cocktail full stomping rhythms, sparkling chords and catchy vocals. The title Saude puts in a nutshell all the elements that make the gigs of the trio a rousing listening experience full of exciting twists and turns. These elements draw their power from both the energetic live feeling of a band and the dance floor boost of electronic beats. A mixture that is obviously very compatible with the musical approach of Eule:nhaupt & Molle:nhauer. The tropical drums and samba whistles of their remix are a perfect match for the striking vocals of the original version, adding a proper dose of floorward drive. This principle is reduced to the maximum in an additional Radio-Version. Also there is a Mollono.Bass remix that embeds the cloudless mood of Saude into a perfidious groove understatement.

Since the last studio album from Pupkulies & Rebecca three years have past in which things have gathered momentum and gained a life of their own. Countless concerts in renowned clubs throughout Europe were held resulting in an ever growing, snowballing fan basis. A certain hype has arisen around the band occurring totally organically without being triggered by the press, self generating and in real time. The recent years have shown that Pupkulies & Rebecca have an appeal which covers all age groups, territories and scenes. They are no longer in a niche, their path appears to be destined, up till now there have been no curves but the speed is increasing.
This is proven by their fourth long awaited album "looking for the sea", undoubtedly Pupkulies & Rebeccas' most matured to date. As with their second album the current album was recorded mainly in the south of France. Ingredients and recipe are the same as their previous albums. The main thread is house, not in the traditional American sense but in a more European version. Not Chicago but Paris and Berlin are to be heard. Eurovision in the true context without the contest. The songs are sung in English and French. They are more chansons than tracks. Yes, Chansons are an appropriate description. Chansons have heart and this exactly is what they want to move and if they also inspire to dance then even better. There is no coolness and functionality to be found here, moreover warmth and unbridled joy for music. High hats out of rustling leaves, old synth legends, an organetta from the flea market, each sound is chosen carefully so that it has room to breath and becomes a part of the greater. "Looking for the sea" is a multifaceted, varied and fascinating album which makes it easy for one to hear and immediately understand. Influences of different styles can be heard and a childish openness is apparent. Pupkulies & Rebecca show how beauteous pop music can be.
According to the name they are a duo but in reality they are a trio. Sepp Singwald, an all rounder from the Berlin Indie scene, has been a band member since 4 years. An increase in the acoustic elements is witness to his influence. Various keyboard and string instruments contributed by Sepp haven't changed the direction of the songs but support them evidently in exactly the right spot. This influence is most important for the work on which Janosch Blaul alias Pupkulies together with his now wife Rebecca have been working on for the past 6 years. Janosch Blaul is still the man in control and his contribution is decisive. Together with Sepp Singwald he has created a finely woven tapestry of sounds full of colourful patterns perfectly tailored for Rebeccas voice. Her vocals cause the tapestry to float, light and weightless.
