KONTIKI SUITE
MUCH APPRECIATED but too proudly insular to breakthrough big, Kontiki Suite's effortlessly catchy harmony and crystallized strumming make them reminiscent of 68' era Byrds to some journo's, which is a shame coz I hear maturity beyond that and their new material (what I've heard so far), compacts their sound further. I expect it to be showcased on the 14th of September, ahead of their 2nd album.
Live, they're hard to catch as they venture out quite rarely, so, this is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy one of the most exciting propositions in the intimate surrounding of the upstairs of Dulcimer bar. Debut album Sunset Lake is awash with beautiful tunes that evoke late summer evenings outside the caravan, and, I'm sure, their rendition of Magic Carpet Ride will mutate into something quite special on the 14th.
Steph Grant will be supporting with her fragile tunes of wonder, with moi and Cotton Controller playing the type of records that come alive inside your head. Pleased to shout 'Get Yer Socks off!'
(support the night by sharing, inviting, ignoring or better still, putting it in your diary. Another intimate night of musical celebration guaranteed.)
Another chart from the sound supermarket. Doubt i'll play any of these on the night, but they're worth a listen. Thinking, wind rustling the sand for the night. The slight smell of distant barbecue, the faint reggae keyboard and a stretched smile. Whatever...
