Diamond Mine’s “beautiful songs about ageing and loss” (Five Stars, The Guardian) were set around Anderson’s home in the East Neuk of Fife and excavated from his extensive back-catalogue which, to date, spans over 50 albums, many self-released on his well-loved (and highly influential) DIY label, Fence. Other key LPs in the KC canon include Kenny and Beth’s Musakal Boatrides (Domino, 2003), Rocket DIY (Domino, 2005), KC Rules OK (Names, 2005) and Bombshell (Names, 2007) and Flick the Vs (Domino, 2009).

A squeezebox virtuoso with a penchant for lyrical wordplay and a voice to die (or certainly cry) for, Anderson’s early musical exploits saw him helming early-mid 90s bluegrass-punks The Skuobhie Dubh Orchestra and Khartoum Heroes before retreating to a four-track recorder and a solo moniker. He has recorded as King Creosote ever since.

Anderson’s 2013 releases included an EP collection entitled That Might Well Be It, Darling (Domino) and Experimental Batch #26 (a Dewar House collaboration also starring Raghu Dixit, FOUND’s Lomond Campbell and Slow Club among others) – as well as a single with folk singer Heidi Talbot. He also played a starring role in Songs in the Key of Fife, Vic Galloway’s recent book about King Creosote, KT Tunstall, The Beta Band and the kinships therein.

He has just completed a soundtrack for filmmaker Virginia Heath that is set to premiere around 2014’s Commonwealth Games. “I’m amazed at how epic it sounds,” he says of the film score. “Along with the KC band, I got Pete Harvey [The Leg] to arrange the strings, and Kevin Brolly [Admiral Fallow] on woodwind, and we had this six-part choir that included Jill from Sparrow and the Workshop, Jenny Reeve and Louis from Admiral Fallow. I’m really excited about it.”
