Steve Kilbey & Martin Kennedy

Kilbey Kennedy

    Strung out like a necklace of diamonds hanging in the firmament, the trilogy of albums from Steve Kilbey and Marin Kennedy ('Jupiter 13', 'The Strange Life of Persephone Nimbus’ and ‘Premonition K’) glitter and shine like stars. They are connected by a golden thread: a retro space aged medieval flavoured world of imagination and storytelling that stands majestic and enthralling. It is steam punk, mythology and classicism all bound together in one glorious package. Easy Action has wrapped these three gems together in a CD collection that, like the duo themselves, is greater than the constituent parts. And these three albums deserve to be homed together for posterity, each building up on the other in a world created by the lyrical creativity of Kilbey and the musical genius of Kennedy, a collaboration that feels like the product of one singular organic mind. Both musicians are disturbingly prolific, and the sheer quantity of their output is matched by the quality. There can almost be no scientific explanation for how so much creativity and sonic innovation can pour out of the two like the waters from Icelandic waterfalls. Kilbey of course is steering the venerable institution The Church to its greatest heights with a series of phenomenal albums (most recently ‘The Hypnogogue’ and ‘Eros Zeto and the Perfumed Guitars’) while Kennedy has produced magnificent solo albums, material under the labels All India Radio and Observers and with other collaborators. The result is perhaps close to a concept triptych about mysterious events with a sci-fi tone and Kilbey’s unique sense of storytelling – psychedelic musings that are spiritual, alien and euphoric.

    Premonition 'K'

      New album by the successful duo Steve Kilbey (The Church) and Martin Kennedy Interest and profile of Steve Kilbey has been raised considerably over the past year due to the church re-forming touring and issuing 2 new albums Steve’s solo albums are all getting a complete make over and the fan clubs are ablaze with rumours and gossips regarding forthcoming releases.

      Embark on a mesmerising journey with the third and culminating chapter of the highly acclaimed trilogy by Steve Kilbey and Martin Kennedy. Building on the success of Jupiter 13 (2021) and The Strange Life of Persephone Nimbus (2022), their latest epic, 'Premonition K,' unveils a sumptuous and organic sonic landscape, delving into the dark and enigmatic realms that exist between the boundaries of life and death. This album, a testament to their musical synergy, encapsulates a darkly beautiful soundscape, drawing inspiration from diverse sources, ranging from the haunting tones of Roger Waters' Final Cut to the shadowy depths explored by early 1970s Black Sabbath. Steve Kilbey, best known as frontman of legendary Aussie post-prog rockers The Church, infuses each track with an emotional resonance and sense of mystery. Martin Kennedy co-pilots this sonic odyssey with Steve Kilbey, weaving an intricate musical bed for Kilbey's lyrical dreamings. Drawing from his twenty years of soundscaping with All India Radio, Kennedy adds layers of sonic complexity, at once warmly familiar and mysteriously strange, creating an immersive experience for the listener. Together, Kilbey and Kennedy invite you to break out the ouija board, turn off the lights, and immerse yourself in the mysteries of 'Premonition K'.
