King Creosote

King Creosote is the moniker Kenny Anderson uses for his solo work. He has had extremely prolific output under his own Fence Records label, where he released multiple CD-Rs a year since 1997. His releases under the Domino label on the other hand, are the albums that are more readily available for the public. His music is generally a mixture of chamber pop and indie folk, bringing to mind bands like Beirut with respect to its expansive vision. He is a remarkable songwriter both in terms of the body and the quality of the work he has produced. His songs come with solid hooks, accessible melodies, and they tend to exude a lot of charm. He has been living in a small coastal town away from the music industry hubbub, which is not that hard to hear in his distinct voice, slightly on the seasoned side, but also with a nice, gliding quality.
