Kontiki (album)
Kontiki (sometimes Kon Tiki) is the second studio album by American rock band Cotton Mather. The album incorporates rock, pop, and psychedelic music, as well as elements of found sound and field recordings, reflecting the group's origins as an experimental act. It was recorded on four-track cassette and ADAT, leading to a rough, homemade sound. Originally released in 1997, Kontiki did not see any success until a 1999 re-release in England. In 2012, it was reissued on the Star Apple Kingdom label, with a bonus CD of extra tracks, as Kontiki Deluxe Edition.

The album is named after the 1947 Kon-Tiki expedition, although band leader Robert Harrison deliberately condensed the name down to one word for the album's title.
