King Creosote
Kenny Anderson is an extraordinary man. Making music under the moniker King Creosote, Anderson manages simultaneously to be a remarkable musician, a genius songwriter, the inspirational head of a record label and the beating heart of the fantastic Fence Collective, all from the sleepy fishing village of Anstruther in the East Neuk of Fife.
Ten years ago, tired of chasing a fickle music industry around, Anderson returned to his native Fife, drew a line in the sand, and set about creating his own incredible, touching and heartwarming music in a stress-free environment, surrounded by like-minded friends. After a host of side projects, collaborations, and some time off to organize two phenomenal Fence festivals in Anstruther, Anderson returned to King Creosote duties, releasing the home-recorded Rocket D.I.Y. through Domino/Fence in Spring 2005, a record which built on the foundations of Kenny and Beth's… while adding a newfound maturity of vision and poignant depth of songwriting to Anderson¹s arsenal.
The album, preceded by the superb and diverse Favourite Girl EP, expands the King Creosote musical palette further with horns, beats, strings and atmospherics, but is still at heart a collection of extraordinarily touching, funny, sad, poignant, heartbreaking and downright beautiful songs, nothing more than you¹d expect from a man with as big a heart and as big a talent as Kenny Anderson. KC Rules OK You bet your life he does.
