The Missing Star (2021)

Departing from the bare-bones approach of their first record, Carli and Clair add a variety of reed instruments, piano, whistles, tongue drums, and analogue synth bass. Looking for a more expansive sound, they found Space Sequoia studio, a hideaway in the ancient landscape of the Canterbury Downs. Co-producer and engineer Julian Whitfield introduced Lunatraktors to Geoffrey Richardson (Caravan, Penguin Cafe Orchestra), who provided strings for their reworking of Leonard Cohen’s ‘Lover Lover Lover’ (1974).
