Description:Flick The Vs is an album by King Creosote, released in 2009. The album is a pop CD. -
2009 release from the Scottish cult singing/songwriting mainstay Kenny Anderson (AKA King Creosote). Flick the Vs is another fantastic collection of beat backed Folk tunes, laced with wistful '70s AM melodies, samples and subtle wry playfulness. King Creosote (who discovered KT Tunstall) is still living on the Marie Celeste that is Crail, North East Fife, and his umpteenth long player Flick the Vs is the first addition in three years to his almost 40+ album catalog (most of them private CD-Rs). First single 'Coast on By' (featuring Beta Band's Steve Mason) is an irresistibly fun piece of acoustic pop that rasps with an angry electro-bass Synth breaking into a Dexy's infused Motown stomp.
"Flick The Vs" is a captivating CD album by King Creosote, released under the renowned Domino Records label. This record showcases King Creosote's signature blend of folk and indie sounds, marked by heartfelt lyrics and intricate melodies. The album takes listeners on an emotional journey through stories of love, longing, and reflection, all delivered with the artist?s distinctive Scottish charm. Domino Records has established itself as one of the leading independent music labels worldwide, known for nurturing innovative artists across genres such as Arctic Monkeys and Franz Ferdinand. King Creosote?real name Kenny Anderson?is a prolific singer-songwriter from Fife, Scotland. With over forty albums to his name and collaborations including Mercury Prize-nominated "Diamond Mine" with Jon Hopkins, he stands out as a central figure in contemporary folk music.
