King Creosote plus Special Guests

On sale Friday 5 April @ 10AM Since the mid-late 1990s, Kenny Anderson?s DIY pop alter-ego King Creosote has released over 100 records (at a relatively conservative guess), and his songs have been covered and performed by artists including Simple Minds and Patti Smith. Many of his LPs, EPs and CDRs were self-released via Anderson?s homegrown Fife imprint, Fence-amid major label dalliances (2005?s KC Rules OK and 2007?s Bombshell on Warners), and a long-standing kinship with Domino Records, whose KC dispatches include Kenny and Beth?s Musakal Boat Rides (2003), the Mercury Prize-shortlisted Jon Hopkins union Diamond Mine (2011), and 2014?s From Scotland With Love, which soundtracked the award-winning film of the same name. Anderson?s latest King Creosote outing is I Des, an album that characteristically digs deep into his previous work ? revisiting and recycling lyrics, home-made tapes, half-spun songs?and continues his quest to navigate mortality, ardour, stormy waters, the moon in the sky, and the East Neuk of Fife. I Des is a collaboration with multi-instrumentalist and co-producer Derek O?Neill, aka Des Lawson (2016?s Astronaut Meets Appleman, From Scotland With Love), which upholds an enduring tradition: Anderson has long had an affinity for joining forces with other musicians, including his 90s bluegrass punk rabbles the Skuobhie Dubh Orchestra and Khartoum Heroes; insurgent pop cabal The Fence Collective (James Yorkston, KT Tunstall, HMS Ginafore, The Pictish Trail); and indie-folk supergroup the Burns Unit (Emma Pollock, Karine Polwart, Sushil Dade). ?
