“Sow the tale as you wander”

New album ii: Dare now available where music is streaming!

Koipondcondo is a progressive art rock band from the US, spearheaded by songwriter Connor Duiven.

The trilogy began with the release of their debut album, i: Know, on October 31, 2022, which was tracked with Kevin Kozel at Third Coast Recording and mastered by Ian Gorman at La Luna Sound. They followed this with the highly anticipated second installment, ii: Dare, released exactly three years later on October 31, 2025.

The album was produced in collaboration with Joe Hettinga and features performances by Nate and Geoff Hansen (Melophobix) Scott Pellegrom (Scott Pellegrom), Joe Hettinga (the olllam), Will Preece (The Grand Rapids Symphony), Ashley Hansen (‘Come From Away’ Broadway), Lucas Eldred, Jacob Dubs, and Connor Duiven. ii: Dare was mastered by industry veteran Glenn Brown.

Koipondcondo’s sound is characterized by dynamic shifts, technical precision, and a cinematic atmosphere, drawing comparisons to modern progressive heavyweights such as Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, and A Perfect Circle.

The music is further enhanced by a compelling visual collaboration with international artist Mark Mellon of Mellon Fine Art.
