PRESS:

Interview with Gareth Koch - The Strange Brew (UK) - Read - "...The idea was to write a soulful ballad filled with ocean and journey references. Musically it harks back to a tuneful and almost Italian style of writing. The harmony owes a little to J.S. Bach’s ‘Sheep May Safely Graze’, as does of course Procol Harum’s ‘Lighter Shade of Pale."

Story in The Big Takeover - July 15, 2019 - Read - "“I’m just a guy holding the pen” is the poignant opening line of the recent Steve Kilbey & Gareth Koch collaboration “Lost at Sea”. The single releases on July 5th via MGM and The Big Takeover is thrilled to host its U.S. premiere.

The song lyrics statement seems innocent enough at first glance, yet it elegantly addresses the mystery of creativity. How does art come into being, and is the creator just a filter or medium for the creative process?"

Lyrics

i’m just a guy holding the pen but this fair city brings down the song that i’m singing to you and all i am is just a pair of eyes the whole world is watching through me trying to get to me

there’s a voyage into solitude there’s no escape from yourself celebrate every day you’re not dislocated or amalgamated into the past

jazz my stolen heart cold and golden hold my stars in your hand

i’m just a fool under a stupid moon but this river rushes onwards into the dawn i’m just a voice you hear sometimes when you’re contemplating after you’re gone before you were born

when you’re lost at sea all alone when you’re roaming in no-man’s land thank the universe no fate could be worse you pray to god to understand

jazz my stolen heart cold and golden hold my star in your hand ...ahh

Steve and Amanda in Israel. Clips and Interview.

Steve Kilbey and Amanda Kramer recently took their traveling act all the way over to Israel to play an intimate gig at the Ozenbar in Tel Aviv.

Steve has sometimes said how surprised he is to discover his popularity in different places around the globe.

Steve also made the time to do a really nice 36 minute interview on Israel's KZRadio. The interview was an hour if you add the songs they played in between the talk which have been edited out.

Below, watch the performance of "Under The Milky Way" at Ozenbar on June 15th, 2019 and also don't miss the insightful audio interview with Steve taped during their visit.
