Mercury Nominated KING CREOSOTE & JON HOPKINS Release New EP 'Honest Words' on 19th September 2011
KING CREOSOTE & JON HOPKINS
Release new EP, Honest Words, on 19th September 2011
Lyrically, there's more soul-searching than Fife folklore on the EP follow up to Diamond Mine - the teasing out of the truth in an obfuscating lyric, or contemplating the truth as laid bare by feline nature and star fields. The music underneath follows these thoughts into more expansive, crystalline realms, far away from the harbours and tea-rooms where they began.
