Like most music projects, the idea behind Spark Alaska began late at night while sitting on the edge of a bed with a guitar in hand. Originally a side project to Throw Television, a band whose members have now gone on work in projects such as Kjurr and Mannequins on 7th Street, Lorenzo Gillis Cook began writing music under the moniker Spark Alaska as a freshman in high school.
Growing up in Brussels, Belgium as an expatriate from the United States, Spark Alaska became the primary creative outlet for Cook as he fiddled his way through adolescence, one song at a time. After graduation, Lorenzo packed his bags and moved to Syracuse, New York where he began to take Spark Alaska more seriously. Recording an EP and his debut record 'Everything You Know Is Changing But It'll Pass' that first year away from home.
A follow up record is to be released mid-2014.
