King Creosote will begin UK live shows later this month.

King Creosote has shared It’s Sin That’s Got Its Hold Upon Us a month on from confirming his first new album in seven years, ‘I DES’, will be released on November 3rd.

As the drum track rumbled to a close, these words from one of Phil Crowter’s sermons burst forth exactly as you hear them, and I had my chorus. The four short verses ought to take on different meanings depending on the listeners’ particular choice of drugs – recreational (whimsical), prescribed (personal), or mandated (diabolical).
