King Creosote has sorted himself some more UK tour dates for January 2017.
New album ‘Astronaut Meets Appleman’ is out today and there’s gigs in London and Aberdeen coming up very soon thereafter. “I wanted to push myself songwriting-wise, so I went in with hardly anything and had to wing it,” he’s said of the album.
“I wanted to try and flip the clock all the way back to sound like a younger me – or a less cynical me. In the past, I’ve been fixated on twisting and wrenching every line, but here I’ve let that go a bit, and I hope that lets you concentrate more on the music; on what’s going on around it.”
“I always feel I’m reaching for something, but I never get there, I wanted to get out of the usual places.”
