Koop is Oscar Simonsson & Magnus Zingmark. When listening to Koops music it's somehow easy to believe that it's played by a small orchestra, but in fact the music is based on samples. Thousands of small clips from records puzzled together into new songs. All the drums, strings, horn sections and choires are actually sampled! This is a very time consuming way to make music (it's one of the reasons it takes such long time to make a koop album), but it's the only way to create the surreal Koop sound. One thing though, that for sure aren't sampled, is the vocals.

Koop Islands is the third studio album by the Stockholm-based electronic music duo Koop. Compared to their last success Waltz for Koop, Koop Islands combines inspiration by 1930's swing with an exotic Caribbean touch. Collaborators include Yukimi Nagano (of Little Dragon), Ane Brun, Rob Gallagher, and others. Koop Island Blues " – 4:34. I See a Different You" – 3:16. The Moonbounce" – 2:46. Beyond the Son" – 4:53.

Koop is Oscar Simonsson & Magnus Zingmark.

Koop is back! Whereas their previous album 'Waltz For Koop' oozes inner-city sophistication and subtlety, 'Koop Islands' goes right for the jugular with less surprises. Think Nicola Conte, two shades more languid. With its irresistible samba, blues style, the pieces flow seamlessly and effortlessly. They flirt and seduce with conga drums, fluttery flutes, saxophone solos, violins, vibraphones, rhodes, jazzy piano, and gorgeous vocals delivering catchy melodies one after another. Koop has that inimitable ability to warm your heart and make you smile to yourself
