ANKOOP x MICHAEL CASTEL - LIFE ANEW (Official Audio)
Is it true that as a duo, you function as communicating vessels : when one member feels down, the other one pulls him back and vice versa
Yes, that's absolutely true! As a duo, we function like communicating vessels. When one of us is feeling down or off balance, the other steps in to lift them back up, and vice versa. It’s a constant flow of energy and support between us, making sure we stay on track creatively and emotionally. It’s one of the reasons we’ve been able to keep going strong coz' there’s always that balance and mutual understanding. Some viewers think that our previous release “Telepathy” was about drugs, but it was about our creative process, as twin brothers.
What’s the gecko special talent or craft ?
He excels at crafting electric instruments and effects, pedals, so that's true we've been collaborating with him for more than 10 years now. More or less. He’s a kind of genius I don’t want to be a spoiler but he created an electric sitar, 70’s star, and that’s a blast. Some tracks for our upcoming record "Turmoil" have been completely recording using that green beauty.
Are you releasing a full album.or just a few singles ?
We're starting with a few singles, including Our Dignity, to give listeners a taste of our sound and the themes we're exploring. We're definitely building toward a bigger project, but we want to release these tracks individually first to really focus on each song’s unique atmosphere and story. We don't have a pretdetermined tracklist, if you will.
Is that brotherhood the key of your longevity and productivity?
Yes, we believe that dynamic (our ability to support each other like ‘communicating vessels’) has been a key factor in our longevity and productivity. It allows us to maintain momentum, even when one of us hits a rough patch. We’ve built a partnership where we can rely on each other to stay motivated and creative, which has kept us going strong and consistently pushing out new work over about 15 years.
Does he interfere with the creative process ?
Red Lizard (a.k.a Marc Meoni @redlizardguitars) is not only a long-time friend but also someone with a special talent. We’ve actually been collaborating with him for over 10 years now. He’s played a big role in shaping our sound, and his contributions have definitely helped bring our musical vision to life. It’s been an amazing journey working together for so long, and his influence is still very much a part of our creative process. He’s just humble, passionate, and a good listener. Send him an e-mail he will answer you, don’t be shy.
Is Revel in doubt the most violent track of that future LP?
Yes, definitely! Revel in Doubt is by far the most violent track on the upcoming LP. It’s raw, intense, and really taps into those darker emotions. It stands out as the heaviest moment on the album, both musically and emotionally.
What kind of hardships did you go through ? Don’t want to sound nosy though so don’t feel obliged to answer.
Honestly, just Life, with everything in it. The ups, the downs, and all the chaos that comes with being human. We've faced our share of challenges, but it's all part of the journey that shapes our music and keeps us moving forward. Don’t want to be a spoiler but the future album will be entitled ‘Turmoil’, for that very reason.
Is another video clip planned ?
Once and for all who is that Red Lizard that everybody keeps mentioning in the comments? Is he your sponsor ? A philanthropist? A yoga-style guru ?
Marc (a.k.a Red Lizard) is simply a long-time friend of ours, someone who’s been with us since the beginning. There’s no official role or sponsorship, just a genuine supporter who’s always had our back and been part of the journey. It’s great to see him mentioned in the comments because he's been such a solid presence behind the scenes! So, while @redlizardguitars isn’t formally involved with the project, he’s definitely a key part of our journey thanks to his dedication to his craft!
What about the remixes, you got a few remixes here and there ?
Yeah, we’ve got a few remixes here and there! We occasionally like to pay tribute to artists (famous or not) that we appreciate. It’s a way for us to show respect for their work while putting our own disco-funk spin on it. The remixes are really just for fun, a creative outlet that lets us experiment with different sounds and styles without the pressure of an original release.
Those drum programming are just hardcore... But what about a real drummer ?
While we love the precision and intensity we can achieve with programmed drums (check Revel In Doubt), we’re definitely open to incorporating a real drummer in the future. There’s something about the raw energy and human feel of live drums that could take certain tracks to another level. It’s something we’re thinking about as we evolve our sound!
Do you consider yourself as a rock band ?
Yes, we’ve been producing rock tracks for more than two years now, so in many ways, we do consider ourselves a rock band. But at the same time, we don’t like to limit ourselves to just one genre. We have various influences, and we’re always experimenting with new elements, so while rock is a big part of our identity, we try to keep things open and evolving. This must be why you will listen to a synthwave-style build-up in the middle of a rock song lol. More seriously this is important for us not to entrap ourseleves into one single genre, and being labeled as this or that kind of music.
You explored disco-funk, rap, grunge, psychedelic rock, synthwave...what's next? What is your core style? Do you even have one at all ?
We’ve definitely explored a wide range of genres such as disco-funk, rap, post-grunge, psychedelic rock, synthwave...you name it! What’s next? Honestly, we’re always evolving and pushing boundaries, so you can expect more experimentation. For instance, with that electric sitar from Red Lizard, we dabbled in Indian music, exploring new horizons. However, at our core, we’re rooted in rock and electronic music. That’s the common thread that runs through everything we do, even as we incorporate different sounds and styles. Rock is where we feel most at home, but we love blending it with other influences to keep things fresh and unexpected. So, whatever’s next, it’ll always have that rock foundation with our own electronic twist on it.
Is Life Anew the banger, the incoming album’s flagship incoming album ?
Actually, while Life Anew is a powerful track, it’s not the flagship of the upcoming album. The real centerpiece is a track called Our Dignity. We’ve got a full music video, and a visualizer to really bring the message to life. Revel in Doubt sets the tone, but Our Dignity certainly is the defining statement of the album.
Where do you record your songs ?
We record in home studios with identical setups, allowing us to produce remotely with a seamless workflow. Thanks for asking.
Well done !
Thanks for your support.
Happy that the algorithm suggested me this song…
Welcome, and enjoy !
Good singer...a bit of punk rock is clearing my hears right now.
Rock is the best ear refresher!
Ankoop release, I like.
Is that a studio work ?
All in-house
Nice release on a Sunday afternoon…
Sunday mood 🔆
I prolly listen to this one with a fresh beer.
Cheers 🍻
I would not have panned the voices too much to the left...I prefer to center the voices.
Same here ! The vocals are centered👍
I think Ankoop has the hand on the break and can release more stuff...it's been a while. Enlightenment is 2022 ?
Thanks for the push. Enlightenment was 2022, The Darkest Hour was 2023, Infinity 2024. More coming soon !
I feel you, it is hard to sound well in punk-rock. This looks easy but it is hard. Like many things in life…
True that ! Easy on the surface, hard underneath. Thanks.
Michael Castel is good.
Agreed 💯
You can hear it is no ChatGPT lyricist.
Pure human lyricism
Life is short, enjoy the process, don't count the views please.
While it is harmonically bland and a bit repetitive, the Energy and the lyrics offset this default. I push like.
I would have put more reverb on the voices. Just a bit more. And a extra delay here and there. But nice overall.
You got my like sir.
The singer has a nice voice.
The bass sounds reminds me of the Casualties. very heavy.
Why don't you release a CD rather than song by song ?
Love the Sun and your T-shirt !!!
If I comment, it means I liked. Thanks Ankoop.
Raw punk. I was not expecting that from Ankoop. I hope more surprise is to come.
Happy that the algorithm suggested me this song…

I needed to hear a bit of punk-rock those days...reminds me of my youth.
Don't listen to the criticism, the track is really good. I prefer a lacky production that a non existent diamond.
It is super energetic...i like the good Energy coming from this song.
This is promising, I hope the next song will surprise me.
I don't care, i will listen to that on cheap monitors anyway, or a cheap headset…
Life is short, enjoy the process, don't count the views please.
I worked in a studio for a while, I know it is hard to sound good especially guitars but you did well...be carefull with compression and distortion.
This song makes me want to travel...but like this guy I do not know where really…
This song is a bit zeitgeist to me. Means a lot. Thank you ankoop.
Always aiming to capture the zeitgeist, pal! Thank YOU.
The melody is so catchy and memorable. It sticks in my head all day!
Rock is not dead !!!
