Copy

Copy, aka Portland producer Marius Libman, specializes in a melodic, playfully retro-minded style of instrumental electro-pop, with a sideline in cheeky bootleg remixes of pop hits and a flair for keytar-wielding live performances that have earned him a good deal of local renown as a party-starter (and 2006's Best New Band award from Willamette Week) despite a relatively low profile outside of Oregon. Copy released three albums during the 2000s: 2006's Mobius Beard, 2007's Hair Guitar, and 2010's Hard Dream. ~ K. Ross Hoffman
