Klak Tik reveal new single, Reborn
Klak Tik reveal new single, Reborn. Taken from the forthcoming album, The Servants
To follow their debut album ‘Must We Find A Winner’ Klak Tik (consisting of Søren Bonke, Matthew Mitchinson & Jonathan Beyer), escaped the trappings of East London’s alternative coffee shops and vintage chic for a simple purer existence in the Welsh village of Penrhos. For a month Klak Tik drew inspiration from the cold January sea, set up a make shift recording studio deep under Parys Mountain and shouted high into the chapel’s rafters
Principal Songwriter Søren Bonke had this to say about the inspiration for ‘Reborn’.
“I was travelling on the Piccadilly Line towards Ealing during rush hour one morning and I was looking at this man in a suit sitting across from me. He looked like a zombie the way he was holding but not reading the free newspaper. I could see the words enter his head through the glassy eyes like an odour from the page, and then pour straight back out of his wilted ears. It got me thinking about my own defence mechanisms. What is my escape route? Songs are, was my conclusion, and ‘Reborn’ was written while another man was sat on the tube, holding but not reading the free paper.”
On November 26th, the band will release the first single to be taken from the new album, Reborn.
I often cringe when asked to review bands i have never heard off, because the brutal truth is some should be appearing on rude tube, however for some reason i decided to listen to the Klak Tik, maybe it was the name, maybe it was the fact they had escaped to the welsh valleys that intrigued me. Which ever one it was i was glad i listened this folk band are really talented the soothing voice of Søren Bonke really does stir a deep yearning to embrace a place a of calm and peace, something i definitely don’t embrace. Actually i listened to this more than once purely because of the peace that washed over me. But yet the band keep your spirits lift and make you want to sway, a great vibe with an easy listen.
A band with will enjoy for years to come!
