King Creosote Shares New Single

Leave a comment

At the moment, I’m really enamored with the work of King Creosote; there’s something in the way his songwriting continues to grow and reflect upon itself, allowing him to link albums and singles along his catalogue. On his latest single, there’s the employment of beats and his folky songwriting, reminiscent of Diamond Mine, which he worked on with Jon Hopkins. This go round, there almost feels like the beats add texture, pushing the song into more cinematic territory, which matches up with the beautifully stark nature of the visualizer accompanying the latest single. I Des will be out on November 3rd via Domino.

King Creosote Announces I Des

Leave a comment

Admittedly, my love for orchestral pop has perhaps waned a bit in the last few years, as I dove in pretty heavy in the late 00s. That said, I’ve always had a really soft spot for King Creosote, and with the announcement of I Des, it gave me another chance to really dive back into his songwriting. There’s a lot of great elements in this first single too, from the sort of running guitar/synth line as the backbone, mingling with the string arrangements that sweep the song along in step with all the vocal pieces. Speaking of those vocal pieces, Kenny Anderson’s voice sounds rather distinctive in this version, so its nice to hear it offset a bit with these soft little female counter harmonies. The new LP drops via Domino on November 3rd.
