about

Opole is an electronic band based in Cologne, Germany, consisting of Frank Schöpgens and Jez Nicholl. Frank and Jez live in the same neighbourhood and met in a local café. After discovering that they were both musicians, they decided to arrange a jam together.

They now share a well-equipped studio, where Frank plays guitar and effects pedals, and Jez plays drum machines, samplers and synthesisers. They have a flexible set-up where they can jam out ideas as well as fine-tune their complex productions.

Their inspiration is wide, reflecting their varied lives. Frank was born in Germany and spent time living in Barcelona and Paris. Jez is from the UK and moved to Cologne in 2011. They both listened to guitar-based indie music in their teens, and shortly afterwards discovered electronic music in the clubs of Europe. Their ears and minds have always been open to new experiences, which can clearly be heard in their music today.

The Gilded not Golden EP offers a glimpse into the creative world of Frank and Jez. Deep harmonic drones, shimmering synthesisers and melodic guitars complement each other, building detailed landscapes of sound with beautiful textures. The skilfully crafted songs are relaxing yet danceable and envelop you in warm darkness.

Opole’s music would be perfect for a relaxing journey through space.
