We have been fans of Scotland’s King Creosote<\/a> (Kenny Andersen)<\/strong> since we first heard his heart-rending song Bats In The Attic<\/strong><\/em> (one of our Best Songs of 2011<\/strong><\/a>).\u00a0 This discovery was followed closely by our unearthing of King Creosote’s<\/strong> sterling collaborations with electronic maestro Jon Hopkins <\/strong><\/a>(including the fantastic official video for their song Bubble<\/strong><\/em>).<\/p>\n

And then we didn’t hear from King (KC)<\/strong> until we espied the official video below for his beauteous new song Something To Believe In<\/strong><\/em> off the film-related album From Scotland With Love<\/strong><\/em>, that was released in June (our apologies).\u00a0 KC created the soundtrack for a film of the same name<\/strong><\/a> “about” Scotland that was made for the 2014 Commonwealth Games<\/strong>.\u00a0 The film explores the history of Scotland, consisting only of archival footage with no commentary or narration, and was broadcast on the BBC<\/strong> in June.<\/p>\n

The new album was written by KC and produced by David McAulay<\/strong>, with help from Paul Savage<\/strong>, and recorded with KC’s band–Derek O’Neill<\/strong> (keyboards), Andy Robinson<\/strong> (drums), Pete Mcleod<\/strong> (bass), and Kevin Brolly<\/strong> (clarinet) — as well as an additional string section (arranged by cellist Pete Harvey<\/strong>), and a choir of backing vocalists.<\/p>\n

After watching the sumptuous Something To Believe In<\/strong>, check out the official video for the comparatively uptempo For One Night Only<\/strong>, also off of the new album.\u00a0 Another well-wrought gem.<\/p>\n

When you’re done, go over and pick up the album on Domino Records<\/strong> HERE<\/a>.
