Free King Creosote mp3 from forthcoming album

By Milo | February 13, 2009

Good news all round – King Creosote has joined his mate James Yorkston on Domino Records, a perfect home for him as they’ll be able to give his music a much bigger push than he’d be able to do with his own wee label Fence Records (though it is of course a superb label!).

To celebrate, Domino are giving away a track from his new album if you sign up to their website – see llnk below.

His last album proper Bombshell is one of my favourites of the last couple of years and this track, called Rims, bodes well for the new one. It features the usual woozy seaside accordion, banjos and gorgeous harmonies along with suprisingly fast beats, all intermingled with subtle electronica – and an amusing sample near the end.

His new album, Flick the Vs, comes out on 20th April 2009, directly after this year’s Fence Homegame festival in Anstruther, which I am very very excited about indeed.

About

My name is Milo. I live in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Gaseous Brain is a schizophrenic stream of consciousness from my over-active mind which includes:

1. Some stuff I've written, filmed, or recorded in a strangely productive fit of creative passion

2. Or more likely, stuff that other people that have done that I like.

I have another blog too, aimed at helping creative people get clear about what they want to do with their lives (including myself): www.clearmindedcreative.com

Please note, I do not write music reviews any more, sorry. There are plenty of people in Scotland who do; see my blogroll below.
