King Creosote - You Are Could I

Something of a grammatical poser for King Creosote's latest release from the K.C. Rules OK album. Before accusations build about 679 milking this album somewhat, it should be pointed out that this is a re-edited album version from Simon Gogerly and includes several other goodies.

Chief attraction is the gorgeous demo That Waltzer, a weightless song that drifts away in a haze of subtle electronic effects and sustained accordion, a truly magical effect. Third part of the E.P. is Vice Like Gist Of It, reproduced in unadulterated form from the album with sublime cello solo intact. The title track, meanwhile, starts with what sounds like a cat stretching before King Creosote poses his many questions. To clinch the deal for fans with record players, the 7" single contains a collection of postcards featuring the delectable artwork from We Are Tourist.

Something of an old-fashioned air to this then in terms of the format, and the music itself communicates through Kenny Anderson's wonderfully rounded voice. If you've not already heard the album, then this will serves as a good introduction. You'll be wanting to buy it soon after.
