Soaper Launch Crowdfunder & Announce Debut Album ‘Bubbledumb’
After building a dedicated following with their infectious live energy and distortion-drenched singles, UK-based grunge duo Soaper are thrilled to announce the upcoming release of their debut album, Bubbledumb. To make the final stages a reality, the band has launched a crowdfunding campaign to invite fans directly into the process.
“We've been working on ‘Bubbledumb’ for the last year and a half, which feels like forever,” say the band. “It’s a record we truly believe in, and now we’re asking our community to help us finish it in the way we think it deserves to be heard.”
The crowdfunder will raise essential funds for:
🎚 Mixing & Mastering
💿 Physical formats (CDs & cassettes)
👕 Limited-edition merch (T-shirts, CDs, Cassettes and more)
Meet the Team Behind the Bubble
‘Bubbledumb’ has been crafted with the help of an incredible team of collaborators:
Luke Pickering (Mixing) – Known for his work at London’s legendary Church Studios and great friend of the band, Pickering has brought Soaper’s tracks to life with sharp detail and clarity.
Stephen Kerrison (Mastering) – A long-time Soaper collaborator whose mastering work ensures the record hits hard on every speaker.
Tom Rhodes & Addison Lake (Production & Engineering) – Rising talents who captured the raw, chaotic energy of Soaper’s sound in-studio.
Alison Buckley (Artwork) – A visual artist whose bold, playful designs perfectly match the band’s offbeat aesthetic.
Two Singles In, One Album to Go
With singles ‘Hot Pocket’ and ‘Breaking Up’ already out in the world, Bubbledumb is shaping up to be a noisy, heartfelt ride through Soaper’s DIY ethos—equal parts grunge, pop, and chaotic charm.
Fans who back the campaign will be able to pre-order the album (on CD or cassette), snag exclusive merch bundles, and even see their name printed in the album’s physical liner notes.
“This album wouldn’t exist without the people who’ve been showing up to shows, streaming our music, or just cheering us on,” say the band. “We want this release to feel like a team effort—because it really is.”
