King Creosote

King Creosote, one of our most beloved voices, returns with his new record *Astronaut Meets Appleman* (released 2 September 2016). It explores the tension and harmony between tradition and technology – between analogue and digital philosophies – and also invokes a feeling, King Creosote (otherwise known as Fife’s Kenny Anderson) says, of “being caught between heaven and earth”.*Astronaut Meets Appleman* follows King Creosote’s breakthrough record *From Scotland With Love* and his Mercury-nominated collaboration with Jon Hopkins, *Diamond Mine*. It arrives replete with a chamber-rock rabble and then some: harps and bagpipes come as standard, as does silence.
