Telescopes

Description

Telescopes – the new album from KK, is an epic magic carpet ride across space and time a spellbinding saga a million years in the making…………………..Part film soundtrack part leftfield indie – it changes scene surreally like a dream from a dark winter s fairytale to an Ennio Morricone inspired Wild West; from a blissful desert island to spacecraft on the edge of the galaxy…………………………… The album rekindles the lost art of the concept album. Like Pink Floyds timeless classic ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ it has a complete sense of vision, which reveals itself as the drama unfolds, from colossal film-like pieces such as ‘Andromeda’ (think Danny Elfmann meets John Williams) to Grandaddy / Bjork-esque indiepop such as ‘Dust’ and ‘Codebreaker’……………………………….. Stargazing super-geek KK, who has worked with the likes of Brian Eno, Bjork and James Newton Howard, has always harboured a passion for science and discovery as well as music, and here he fuses the two – exploring our origins in the world and the many mysteries of the universe with a unique sense of storytelling and childlike wonder.
