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. Many singers has blessed the Koop albums with their talent, and on Koop Islands the singers are : Ane Brun, Yukimi Nagano, Hilde Louise Asbjornsen, Rob Gallagher and Mikael Sundin. Koop Island Blues is sung by Ane Brun and is taken from the album "Koop Islands". JF Julian directed the video in Paris. Starring french actor Mia Jacob. Lyrics: hello my love it's getting cold on this island i'm sad alone i'm so sad on my own the truth is that we were much too young and now I'm looking for you or anyone like you we said goodbye with a smile on our faces now you're alone you're so sad on your own the truth is that we run out of time and now youre looking for me or anyone like me
