At the end of June they’re going back to London to begin recording their new album. They will travel with José M Rosillo, who will be in charge of production for the album, where they will record in nothing less than the Konk Studios, one of the most legendary studios in the north of London that got the KINKS’ Ray Davies started at the beginning of the 70s. At first, the studio, near Davies’ neighbourhood, Mushwell Hills, was a private studio for the KINKS’ exclusive use but it opened years later to other artists so that they could enjoy the magnificent studio’s equipment. The list of groups that have recorded in the Konk Studios in recent years is as long as it is impressive, from THE ARCTIC MONKEYS to THE STONE ROSES, including ELASTICA, SUEDE, THE CHARLATANS, THE BEE GEES, BLUR, MANIC STREET PREACHERS, MASSIVE ATTACK, DEPECHE MODE, PORTISHEAD and SPIRITUALIZED, among many others. As the culmination of their London adventure, on July 7th and 8th, COOPER will play two live “going away” shows in England with two other bands they are friends with. Soon, we will have more information available about COOPER’s new album, which will be called, “Mi universe”, as well as about their recording process and their concerts in London.
