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.[1]
