Koop Islands

Description

2026 marks the 20th anniversary of Koop Islands, the third and final studio album by the critically acclaimed Swedish duo Koop. Blending jazz, swing, electro, and cinematic orchestrations, this album propelled Koop onto the international stage, leading to numerous world tours and a catalog that continues to captivate a wide audience of streaming listeners. Featuring contributions from Ane Brun, Yukimi Nagano (Little Dragon), Mikael Sundin, and Earl Zinger, Koop Islands includes the international hit "Koop Island Blues," which has now amassed over 100 million streams on Spotify. The album also contains "Strange Love," Koop's second most-streamed track, presented here as a bonus. Previously unreleased on a standard European vinyl edition, this track is offered for the first time in this format. The original vinyl pressing of Koop Islands was extremely limited and has become a highly sought-after collector's item, with original copies fetching high prices on Discogs. This 20th-anniversary edition features the album in a luxurious die-cut sleeve, replicating the distinctive design of the original CD edition.
