The Cope aka Joe Furlong and David Anthony Curley released their debut album Dancer on December 8, 2023. The genesis of DANCER traces back to the isolating lockdown period, when global communities yearned for physical connection, and dance floors lay dormant. Sensing an opportune moment, the duo embarked on a creative journey to craft a musical opus that encapsulates the collective longing for communal celebration. Their aim was to provide the quintessential soundtrack for the eagerly awaited resurgence of nightlife, beckoning the return to vibrant club scenes and festival arenas.
"We had two goals in mind. Firstly, we wanted to create music that we ourselves would want to hear when people could finally return to the dance floor. Secondly, we wanted to craft the kind of music that compels people to dance, creating an immersive experience that captures the diverse moods of a night out.”
On this episode of the TPOE podcast, Joe and David talk us through all the tracks on Dancer, the creative process, and the guest vocalists across the songs.
