  • Limited Edition Gatefold Vinyl
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Sunstone Records are proud to present a limited vinyl press of the second album ‘The Greatest Show on Earth‘ by our favourite, North Lakes troubadours Kontiki Suite.

    After initially approaching the band as fans this is the realisation of something incredibly special - their 2012 debut ‘On Sunset Lake’ was and still is a favourite and to be involved in the follow up is a majestic feeling – musically and lyrically it feels like a follow up to the debut with
    added colour and swagger: think Byrds / Emitt Rhodes / Brewer and Shipley / Beachwood Sparks / Teenage Fanclub

    The LP will be housed in a wonderful Luke Insect designed gatefold with a free digital download. This is the sound of deep Northern England and the bands love of melody, harmony, country rock and psychedelia takes us to the next level of their trip.

    Includes unlimited streaming of The Greatest Show On Earth via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

And I’ve got you under my skin
How’d you get in?
And I’d never have known
'Til you made it your home
And moved right in
Now I can't escape this haze
Spaced out in a daze

My blood it boils, a hundred degrees
And I'm begging you please
To cut me loose
Down from your noose
And give your final salute
Now I can't escape this haze
Spaced out in a daze

There were times I got burned in the fire
Scorched my soul in the heat of desire
There were times I got burned in the fire
Scorched my soul in the heat of desire

The room it shakes, it rattle and rolls
It rattle and rolls to the beat of your drum
And then it goes boom like a gun
Boom like a gun, now I’ve nowhere to run
Nowhere to run, and no time to run
There’s no time to run and I can't
I can't escape this haze
Spaced out in a daze
