Karin Park is releasing „Church Of Imagination” – an album which explores new musical territories and subjects as magic, religion and the power of thought! Recorded and produced in her own studio with co-producers Nick Sheldon (Blackhill) and husband Kjetil Nernes (Årabrot). She’s been called the Nico of Scandi-goth and she’s been performing with icons such as Lana Del Rey and David Bowie among others. She expresses herself not only through music but also through fashion and perfumery as a form of art, taking inspiration from designers like Gareth Pugh, Rick Owens and Son Venin. But to get a real sense of who Karin Park is you must know where Karin comes from. A chubby child from a Christian family who desperately wanted to get away from the narrow minds of the countryside, using her only advantage; her unique voice. Being considered different and an outsider in a small Swedish village and years spent in a Missionary school in Japan, made her want for something bigger.
By 15 she moved away to find her home in music. After studying at Stockholm Music Conservatory, a Norwegian poet brought her to Norway where she started her pop career. She won a few Grammys, moved to London to write songs and work as a model for high-profile brands as Swarovski, Haizhen Wang and DKNY. But her heart was always in the music. After 5 albums, writing a Eurovision entry for Norway and the big hit ”Tokyo By Night” for Hook N Sling and Axwell, Karin returned to the village of her youth, buying the church where she first sang in front of an audience as a child. She turned the church into a combined studio and home together with her husband, front man of the Norwegian rock band Årabrot. This is where Imagination now holds sway. After a year of sold-out performance as the lead in Les Misérables, touring the world with Årabrot, and also becoming a parent; Karin Park is now back with a new album for the first time in five years! „Church Of Imagination” is a playful record. We can sense the influence of Scott Walker, Massive Attack and Nico on this record. The style of music is Karin’s way of using different elements to tell her stories. What defines her the most though, is her ability to touch people with who she is and what she stands for.
