Singer Songwriter

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.

They say long live the king and all, but nothing’s ever set in stone. A quarter of a century since his self-inflicted&nbsp;coronation, and self-released debut solo album, &nbsp;Kenny Anderson - DIY pop voyager, ancestral seaside home restorer,&nbsp;squeezebox lothario, Fife for lifer, diamond miner, hijacker of hearts, and the man also known as King Creosote -&nbsp;has released over 100 records (at a relatively conservative guess), &nbsp;collaborated with the likes of Jon&nbsp;Hopkins,KT&nbsp;Tunstall, Beta Band’s Lone Pigeon, and had his songs covered and performed by artists including Patti Smith and Simple Minds.&nbsp; Yet he’s still standing, fallible, doubtful, patched together, bloody-minded and unbowed. He’s got a new LP, despite or perhaps because of it all. It’s called&nbsp;I Des.&nbsp;

While the record’s kaleidoscopic musical terrain plots vibraphones, accordions, e-bows, samplers, ungulates, scratched records and wine glass-drones across its landscape, there’s common ground in the wonder of the synthesiser – not to mention Anderson’s singular voice, and his roguish, roving, ever-evolving, gorgeous songs in the key of Fife.
