Earlier in the year The Strange Brew reviewed On Sunset Lake by Kontiki Suite. Intrigued by Jason’s review I decided to investigate and listened to the single from the CD – Magic Carpet Ride. For me it was one of those eureka moments when you realise that you have discovered something special. At this point I have to admit to being of a certain age and having been an avid consumer of music for over 40 years, such moments have become increasingly rare.
I was determined to find out more about the Kontiki Suite and how they created this musical gem. Happily for me Craig [Craig Bright – keyboards & percussion] and Jonny [Jonny Singh – guitars, lap steel & backing vocals] from the band gave me some of their time to chat about the creation of the CD and how they achieved a warmth and clarity that is both vintage and modern. Something not often heard in contemporary recordings.:
