A fictional world of musical siblings and other characters serves as a backdrop for King Wilkie Presents: The Wilkie Family Singers, the third and most ambitious album yet from King Wilkie. There is no plot or storyline, no dialog; only a set of imaginary familial characters as a background for the album’s twelve songs. “I had in mind doing something that would be about a family of musical people, and about their odd development as a family. You aren’t supposed to know that much about these characters,” says King Wilkie founder Reid Burgess, “and you shouldn’t need to in order to listen to the album.”
