To follow their (9/10 NME rated) debut album ‘Must We Find A Winner’ Klak Tik (comprised 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.
On November 26th, the band released the first single to be taken from the new album, Reborn.
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.”
