RTÉ 2FM is naming acts and artists to see, listen to and enjoy in 2024...
The Cope are audio-visual artists David Anthony Curley and Joe Furlong, who met at an impromptu karaoke birthday party in late 2019 and immediately bonded over 90s dance classics, French house music and the Beastie Boys. The pair swiftly started writing together in David's studio, The Clinic Recording Studios.
As they began to develop their sound over the course of the following 18 months, their debut album Dancer took form. Between Joe's experience as a session bassist with some of Ireland's most renowned artists and David's success with his former band Otherkin, the duo knew they wanted the project to be about more than just the music.
Now based in Berlin and Antwerp, they have released several music videos and short films, the most recent two directed by David, which enabled them to build a visual world for their music to live in.
