Coparck (Amsterdam/Holland) has been around for a while, unleashing their mix of melodic, eclectic indie-pop. Offbeat but in the groove. ‘A jazzed-up post-rocking city view’ layered with samples and old synthesizer sounds. With influences ranging from Beck, Blur and the Beatles to Ben Folds five, Bacharach and Bach. As one critic put it; ‘Coparck’s songs are extremely accessible, yet oddly angular, instantly hummable, yet challenging’.
ALBUMS
Their second album: ‘Few Chances Come Once In A Lifetime’ (Supertracks) was recorded and produced by Coparck in their own recordingstudio. The single 'The World Of Tomorrow' was played extensively on national radio last year, and the apocalyptic red videoclip was made by video-artists Persijn Broersen and Margit Lukacs. The song was also used as a score for a Dutch TV ad. Coparck has been nominated by the VPRO for best Dutch album of 2005.
Their debut-album ‘Birds, Happiness And Still Not Worried’ (Labels/Virgin 2001) was released in Europe and Japan and was accompanied by the frenzy single/videoclip ‘Into Routine’.
