Kontiki Suite, On Sunset Lake. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

The still waters of a lake a deceptively deep, they can pull you in with their obvious translucent charm and give you hours of pleasure as you take a sort of sanctuary in the coolness on offer. Not all lakes or lochs are like this, others contain worded dangers, the keep out sign easily seen from the water’s edge and to even dip your toe in the blackness that thrives in the foam could be a hazard the lyrically unstable could be keen on missing out on.

Kontiki Suite, Gig Review. The Cavern, Liverpool. International Pop Overthrow 2014.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 81/2/10

There is a special place surely reserved in anyone’s heart for a band when they play a track that just really just gives the said organ a jolt of undisguised passion, of catching the listener unawares of its importance to them. It can happen a lot with a band that you may have followed for years, it happens less frequently with a group that has not appeared on your in built radar and yet for anyone watching Kontiki Suite in The Cavern Club on a warm Saturday night in May; that feeling of first time love was like lightning hitting the Eiffel Tower and creating a spark so wide it would light up Paris.
