Imagine Nick Drake inviting Jamie Lidell, Eels and Beck over for dinner. Chop Wood is a genre defying solo project by Coparck frontman Odilo Girod. His guitarless debut album is a mix of electronic and acoustic songs written mostly at night due to his sleeplessnes and insomnia. A diverse batch of eclectic atmospheres sparked with sweet caustic electricity, multi layered vocals and insomniatic lyrics. Songs that never sleep.
