King Creosote

'Beautifully crafted demonstration of what can be achieved with a song and a strum' - The Independent

Following a hugely successful UK tour which included two exceptional sold out shows at The Barbican's Milton Court, King Creosote commences another UK tour in January and February 2015 with his live music show.

If you build a fence then you have to treat it, as any DIY buff will tell you. You have to make it durable; to help it help us to weather storms. Fife's Kenny Anderson realised this when he conceived his micro-label, Fence, in 1994 - and so he treated it, then treated us, with an alt-pop alter-ego: King Creosote.

Since then, Anderson has become of Scotland's most acclaimed, and most prolific, singer-songwriters: a squeezebox Casanova with a cosmic wordplay fetish; a seafaring pop heart-breaker whose voice leaves gentle devastation in its wake. He was short-listed for 2011's Mercury Prize thanks to Diamond Mine, his sublime collaboration with Jon Hopkins.
