Release Notes:
ôEverything starts with a guitar and a loop pedal.ö
Fresh from playing the iconic Falls Festival, a year of touring the world and
developing his craft, Sydney based singer/songwriter Hein Cooper enters 2016
with bold intent in the leadup to the release of his much anticipated debut
album, The Art of Escape.
The album comes off the heels of CooperÆs debut EP in 2015 (released on Indica
Records), which serves as a teaser for what we can expect off the full length.
Both records were recorded and produced in Montreal, Canada, with Marcus Paquin
- who has worked with the likes of Local Natives, Arcade Fire and The National.
Cooper praises PaquinÆs involvement in the record, ôIt was a really
collaborative process, he had a lot of great ideas that built the songs up in a
way that got the ideas out of my head and into the record.ö
Paquin can be heard throughout the record, joining Cooper in playing all the
instruments you hear, with the exception of Dominic OÆNeil on Drums and added
vocals from Laurel Sprengelmeyer and Thelma Plum.
Fans of Hein CooperÆs live show will already know what they have to look forward
to on the record, as much of the album has been road tested over the last year.
This has allowed Hein to develop the tracks with a full band and further explore
his unique mix of indie and pop music, with his signature voice, emotive lyrics
and an acoustic guitar bursting with character.
Hein says, ôThe sound of the record is definitely reflective of where I am now.
Spending the year touring and playing live, definitely got me to the point where
IÆm able to replicate the sound of the record live, but I wouldnÆt have been
able to do that if we released the album straight away.ö
As for what that sound is, the word ôeclecticö comes to mind. Cooper says of his
approach, ôI donÆt like to pigeonhole songs into one style to make them fità
itÆs a collection of songs treated individually. I started with folk music, but
now I have found myself exploring other styles and feelings.ö
Hein will start 2016 on the road in Australia, before heading back to Canada for
shows in the lead up to the albumÆs release.
