16 September 2014 - 0 Comments
Having toured the world as co-vocalist of The Streets, Kevin Mark Trail has an impressive list of collaborations under his belt, including Nitin Sawhney, Estelle and Black Twang, as well as supporting the likes of N.E.R.D, Massive Attack and Angie Stone.
His New Zealand collaborations include Pieter T, Jason Eli, Nathan Haines and Sola Rosa.
Now, having launched a critically acclaimed solo career, Kevin Mark Trail brings his new album The Knight to New Zealand shores on Friday, October 31.
The Knight is an electro cinematic soul project with a conscience. Born in reaction to the current state of society, the album is a response to the current importance we place on lust, fame, money and power, which some consider to be the "light".
According to Trail, "if this world is the light, then love, equality and freedom must be the night."
Created with this theme in mind, Trail explores love of self, racism, identity, equality, thought and freedom.
Written and recorded in the back streets of London, The Knight was mixed in the forest of Titirangi, New Zealand, by Chris Chetland and Kevin Mark Trail. The musical landscape has been created by Kevin Mark Trail and features vocalist Sharlene Hector of Basement Jaxx.

The Knight is released on Friday, October 31 and is available to pre-order now on iTunes.
Kevin Mark Trail will be performing a series of shows around the country, supporting local band, Sola Rosa:
Friday, 24 October - Dux Live, Christchurch City
Friday, 31 October - San Fran, Wellington
