s.u.o.p.

Indecision is not necessarily a bad thing. When s.u.o.p. was born in 2004, the two roomates Alex & Jörg where asked to contribute a song for a chill out / listening compilation called " A Minute To Pray And A Second To Die" by the Berlin/Hamburg label Krikl Krakl. Out Came "Paradise Fresh". Because of the fact, that a certain sympathy for understatement was, what brought the two together, it was a challenge to push the project into a more song/pop-oriented direction thereafter, without falling into the dull posing of eletro-clash/80s revival clichees. However, after playing several live-sets on electronic partys around Berlin, the need for some harder, floor-shaking material emerged. So recently s.u.o.p. is working in the twilight zone between abstract songs and tracks, offering both the minimal textures of the contemporary Berlin music idiom and sparse but maximal vocals with a soulful vibe. In 2006 s.u.o.p. joined forces with Berlin´s Aromamusic-label and since Alex left to concentrate on his studies, s.u.o.p. is carried on as a solo project.
