King Creosote

MySpace – but best ask Fence really, as Kenny really only has one release on our label.  The rest is on Fence Records and Domino.

I first became aware of Kenny Anderson’s stuff when he was fronting the Skuobhie Dubh Orchestra, back during by student days, spent in Glasgow in the mid-nineties.  I remember them, I remember the Khartoum Heroes (actually, the bastard promised me a CD copy of their single Song For a Flower about three years ago now, and I still don’t fucking have it), and then he kind of dropped off my radar a little, I have to confess.

Anyhow, about ten years later I was checking out KC Rules OK by a band called King Creosote, after it was recommended by quite a few magazines, and I found myself thinking ‘fuck me, that sounds a bit like that bloke from the Skuobhie Dubh Orchestra’.  So I looked up King Creosote, and realised how dense I had been.

Anyhow, I never dreamt that a man who has become a legend of Scottish independent music would ever release on our label, and I certainly never dreamt I’d ever see him pop round our house to record anything, but in October 2009 he did just that to record the Cold Seeds album with Frances Magic Tricks and Neil and Pete from Meursault.  This will be out on vinyl by about March 2010 – hopefully in time for the Fence Collective’s Homegame Festival.

Here’s the video for his latest Domino single, Coast on By:
