Since his recording debut as Choir Boy in 2016, Adam Klopp has crafted nostalgic anthems, tapping the sound of swirling 1980s synth noir and captivating, cinematic songs sweeping with pensive sorrow and glowing hope. As a former member of the Mormon faith, Klopp spent his youth both in the pews of his place of worship, but also churning through DIY punk venues, before leaving the sect in the thick of a mission in Tahiti. The duality of faith and fiction are central to the rich explorations on his debut album Passive With Desire. Recorded at Studio Studio Dada, the album's tracks permuted as bedroom sketches, awash with camp, the sting of loss, and allusions to halcyon days of nocturnal, electronic driven pop. Retaining elements of Klopp's original demos, Passive With Desire was recorded with a full band and polished with trumpet, strings, as well as archival samples calling back to Klopp's hazy youth.Engineered by Klopp, Bret Meisenbach, and Stephen Cope, Passive With Desire is the entry point to Choir Boy's world of emotive wit, novella kissed lyricism, and bouncy, synth-forward takes on traditional song writing bound by the universal themes of loss, desire, evolution, and exploration.

Prior to releasing a string of influential and widely acclaimed solo records under his own name on labels such as Important and Hospital Productions, Alessandro Cortini (Nine Inch Nails) self-released two albums under the name Sonoio starting in 2010. Praised for their complex and rich pop sound, strong vocal delivery and thoughtful compositions with impeccable production values, Sonoio's InchRedInch and InchBlueInch made heavy use of Cortini's expert manipulation of the Buchla synthesizer and releasing the single InchEnoughInch. As activity with Nine Inch Nails, the demands of touring, and his other solo endeavors began to pick up, production on the third and final Sonoio installment was delayed. In 2014 however, after years of silence, Sonoio posted the single and video for the song InchThanks For CallingInch exclusively on Sonoio. Org and quickly reignited rumors and hope for the of the third album. Fine is the first Sonoio full length to be released on vinyl, with art direction and package design by Caspar Newbolt and photography by Matt Sundin. Personal, layered and complex, InchFineInch achieves greatness as both a singular example of deep and inspiring pop music, and as the final album - the closing chapter in the story of Sonoio.
