Is that a stage name, Hein Cooper? No, the Australian owes his first name to a Dutch mother. In Sydney, where he lives, Cooper is making a big splash right now, his incredibly laid-back folk-pop finding followers in droves. The heartfelt surfer's easygoing tunes always carry something melancholic, he plays the guitar quietly, his voice is multi-layered, sometimes electro sounds are added.
Hein Cooper recorded his debut album in Canada, with the producer of The National and Arcade Fire. The songs also excited the makers of Hamburg's famous Reeperbahn Festival, for which he was promptly booked.
We will surely hear more from Hein Cooper, his career has just begun!
