koop

the standard format on this one two one two beat session is slightly off-key {translation: the timing on the drums is slightly off...}, but i get the sense that this was deliberate. koop is yet another nordic country uber-to-cool-for-skool band set. saw them in the east, singapore to be precise...i must say it wasn't love at first bite, but this jazzy, fuzzy and yes sometimes saccharine swedish version of jazz can hit the spot sometimes. i like the way it begins and then how it continues to tie itself up in looping bass guitar riffs. koop has collaborated with almost everybody, from gilles to bjork. we like our jazz with some street cred, we're no fascists.sample and love.
