Beads on a String is the debut album from much-loved Brisbane group kooii.
It offers a mix of styles such as reggae, jazz and latin and invites you to share a mood that is both soothing and joyous.
The songs are well-crafted and given the chance continuously excite the interest of the listener. They are delivered with heart and subtlety and great musical skill.
The members of kooii make a significant contribution to Australian music culture. They mix and match their offerings in various groove collectives generating music that is characteristic of their region.
The magic of this music will capture the attention of young and old. It drifts inside and inspires you to move.
Kooii have crafted a unique work that has the freshness of summertime.
"This local Brissy band combines jazzy urban rhythms with funky reggae beats and resonant vocals to lull a listener into trance- like splendour. The mellow yet upbeat essence of this album can be likened to the styles of Jack Johnson and Bob Marley, which spirals through eleven unique tracks, all the while conjuring up images of tropical islands and laid back beach-side cafes.
Kooii enters the musical world with a debut album that is every bit transitional as it is colourful carrying a distinct yet indefinable approach that'll make you feel blissfully relaxed and at ease. If music is supposed to ease stress, this definitely does the trick." Scene Magazine July 2005
