July 25th 2021 release Woord Lieder:

Woord is dutch for word, and Lieder is the poem song form from the 1800's, and earlier, from the German work for song, Lied. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lied)

It's kind of a 'tongue in cheek" attempt to create a name for a modern style, using old European phrases.

This album mixes rock, rap and EDM elements with field recording, and journalistic samples. 3 songs from the 9 are above. The rest can be found on streaming services worldwide, and Bandcamp above. Dedicated to my father who always inspired the search for knowledge.

Night Drive is the 2009 solo album by Sky Cooper. Solo album is a misnomer because 15 others helped shape this work. Recorded mostly in 2009 in Portland Oregon, through the generosity of Patrick Brewer, Phil St John, and Backline Records.
