Domino

Domino is an independent label founded in Putney, South West London by *a694357* and his partner Jacqui Rice in 1993. The label initially focused on American acts such as *Sebadoh*, *Pavement* or *Royal Trux* before signing British acts in the late '90s.

The label operates a US division, located in Brooklyn, which output was initially identified by its own catalogue number schemes, DOMUS then DNO (used until 2013), when the releases handled by the UK headquarters are identified by WIG (albums) and RUG (singles and EPs) catalogue numbers.

The company operating the label, *Warp Records*, diversified, establishing a publishing arm and a series of labels (*Double Six Recordings*, *Weird World Record Co.*, *Rephlex*, ...).

Kenny Anderson, known primarily by his stage name King Creosote, is an independent singer-songwriter from Fife, Scotland. He is the man behind Fence, a musical collective and record label based in the East Neuk of Fife. Anderson is also a member of Scottish-Canadian band The Burns Unit. In 2011, Anderson's collaborative album with Jon Hopkins, Diamond Mine, was nominated for the Mercury Prize and the Scottish Album of the Year Award.

With a career spanning decades, King Creosote has established himself as one of Scotland's most respected musicians. His unique blend of folk and indie rock has captivated audiences worldwide. Inspired by artists such as James Yorkston and Malcolm Middleton, King Creosote's music delves into introspective themes while maintaining an infectious melodic quality.

Known for his distinctive vocals and heartfelt lyrics, King Creosote continues to push boundaries in the music industry. Collaborating with fellow artists like Steve Mason and Aidan Moffat has allowed him to explore new sounds and expand his creative horizons. With an extensive discography that includes critically acclaimed albums like "Kenny & Beth's Musakal Boat Rides" and "From Scotland with Love," King Creosote remains a driving force in the contemporary folk scene.

Rocket D.I.Y. is the home-recorded follow up to 2003’s Kenny and Beth’s Musakal Boat Rides. Instead of a collection of songs spanning several years, Rocket D.I.Y. contains 12 new songs, all written and recorded over a period of weeks. Acoustic guitar and piano based songs have been embellished with accordion, banjo, electronics and a smattering of samples. Collective drummers OnTheFly and Captain Geeko deliver an altogether new punch, with Pip Dylan’s pedal steel adding that final twang. Rocket D.I.Y. can best be described as a recollection of a hectic year. From the cosmic highs to the lunar lows come world weary themes of age consciousness and humdrum household chores sitting alongside wide- eyed travel adventures and far-fetched yarns. With its scratchy sentiments, anthemic yearnings and downright nonsense, Rocket D.I.Y., like Kenny and Beth’s Musakal Boat Rides before it, takes you on a Neukian journey possibly not as far as the stars but one you’ll want to take again.
