This is the new album from the Potentate of The East Nuek musical community that is the Fence Collective. King Creosote (AKA Kenny Anderson, an alumni of the Skuobhie Dubh Orchestra) has been ploughing his own musical furrow on the East Coast of Scotland for over a decade.
Since setting up the Fence Collective in the mid 90's he, and a like-minded group of musicians including James Yorkston and Lone Pigeon to name but a few, have created a smorgasbord of quirky, tasty lo-fi classics. The last few albums (and there have been over 30 in the last 10 years!) from KC have been nudging their way towards the mainstream since he signed to Domino/679/Warners.
Some will bemoan the move towards a larger audience I, for one, couldn't disagree more. The hallmark of KC's genius has always been the songs, lo-fi production or not, and as such this collection does not disappoint. There's a sharp turn-of-phrase and genuine wit to all the tracks on this album and the voice, oh the voice. A more melancholy, poignant voice you're not likely to hear anytime soon.
There are some sublime tracks on the album such as Home In A Sentence, Cowardly Custard, Admiral and Nooks. Nooks especially will put you in a wistfully romantic frame of mind. The other tracks that stand out are those such as You've No Clue Do You which epitomizes the much more slick production of this release. I don't find this as huge a departure from his previous ouvre as some, if you've ever seen KC live you'll know he can wig out with the best!
I'd say this a must buy, a superb Hors D'Oeuvre for the veritable feast that is King Creosote's back catalogue!

I bought this album when it came out and saw King Creosote play live twice to promote it (once with Squeeze and once in a very intimate venue in Norwich where Kenny came over and had a chat with us).
I don't write many reviews but I'm sitting here listening to the album (for probably the hundredth time) whilst I mark year 8 homework in my classroom and I felt compelled to tell everyone how absolutely fantastic this album is from start to finish.
There's simply not a poor track here - just 13 beautifully written, melodic and at times rather humourous poetic gems.
One of my favourite albums of all time - if you ever get the chance to listen to him just give it a go, you might actually love it as much as I do...

Wor Kenny, the hirsute Anstruther minstrel has only gone and knocked out a damn fine album which could well see him break through the barriers which separate cult artists from the mainstream. As King Creosote, Kenny Anderson has headed the legendary 'Fence Collective' based on the East Neuk of Fife on Scotland's rugged east coast. Ironically one of Kc's former compadres in the collective, KT Tunstall finds herself at the top of the album charts as I write.
For those unfamiliar with Kc's music and who might be expecting 'finger in yer ear folk' will be in for a shock. KC has produced a melodic folk rock album with tracks like the single 'You've no clue do you' positively Beatle-esque in it's tempo and beguiling melody.
Remarkably,unlike previous KC albums which were qualitative products generally but usually with the odd duff track 'Bombshell' does the run without offering any so-so tracks whatsoever...they're all excellent !
Interestingly, the destined to be cult film 'Hallam Foe' set in Edinburgh and which I saw recently saw in Edinburgh,uses a KC track and that of another 'Fence Collective' member, the equally impressive James Yorkston. This should open up even more doors for the East Neukers.
Unlike previous homespun KC efforts. 'Bombshell' oozes sharp professionalism in its production. Not for Kenny the cut and shunt approach. Producing albums on an ancient tape machine in his Anstruther front room ! What next,Bono in the production studio in LA !
I shouldn't think so for Kenny has shown a tenacious loyalty to his roots and his music has benefited enormously from this approach.
Perhaps it's the sea air !

A Superb Album
This is in my opinion, King Creosote's finest album. Part of KC's appeal has always been the lo-fi production of his earlier material - inexpensive, but imaginitively realised... Read more

Better than most, but not his best
KC manages to keep his singular take on modern folk music alive and well on Bombshell, even with some more heavily produced tracks (like No Clue or, indeed 678 form KC Rule OK). Read more

Album Of The Year
It's been a dull year, hasn't it? It was worth the wait for the new King Creosote album. I can't believe he's so full of original lyrical ideas after 600 songs or so. Read more
