The WikiPedia adds. . .
Atlantic Popes are a virtual music project by Bernhard Lloyd, co-
founder and long-time member of the German synth-pop band
Alphaville, and singer Max Holler.
The duo produces Electropop with a big variety of styles and
soundscapes.
In relation to the band's name, "Atlantic" refers to the southwest
of France, where the duo wrote most of the songs on their first
album. "Popes" is meant jokingly. According to Lloyd, both musicians
liked the idea that everyone is a Pope and that "Popes" has the word
"pop" in it.
Holler and Lloyd met for the first time in Berlin in 1989. Holler
was looking for a producer for his project "Echo Romeo" and Lloyd
was somehow in the mood for adventure and a new musical challenge.
He liked Holler's voice and singing as well as his songs.
After joining forces, they took some time off to work on the project
on the southwest coast of France. After the creation phase in France,
the first album was recorded at the LunaPark Studio in Berlin and
later finished in Lloyd's home studio. At the end of the 1990s, they
then gave their music project its name, Atlantic Popes. The first
album entitled Atlantic Popes was released on 4 January 2001 and
contains 14 songs, including "Love" and "Ice", also in a French
version. Marian Gold, the singer of Alphaville, contributed backing
vocals on the song "Games". For each song on the album, the band
produced short comic animation videos.
In 2001, Atlantic Popes were invited to participate on the tribute
album True Faith: A Tribute to New Order. Since they could choose
the song, the band produced a cover of "Ceremony", a song released
shortly after Ian Curtis' death and which Bernhard Lloyd particularly
likes.
This was followed by an almost 20-year break from publishing, during
which the duo remained in friendly and creative contact without
interruption. Many demo versions of songs were written during this
time.
In May 2020, the duo returned with the song "Hold On".
Since then, the duo have been releasing new songs at regular
intervals and have been active on various social media channels.
Their second album is currently in the works.
In 2021, Dream Image covered the Atlantic Popes song "Clouds and
Years"
