Summer is in full bloom and there is no better way to celebrate the season than with this distinctive track.
Koop Island Blues is a song I have been waiting to share for weeks. My encounter with this song was serendipitous. A friend played it when a group of us were just hanging around--talking, lounging. The setting was perfect for the track itself induces images of the Caribbean archways, blue waters and colourful drinks. The bright imagery does weaken the rather sad undertone in the track highlighted by the lyrics and the voice. The swing inspired music is happy, almost optimistic--an amalgamation of various sounds perfectly synced together-- a signature style of the Swedish electronic duo Koop that created the track.
If you're venturing into the seas this week, plug into Koop Island Blues.
