What you say No-one has reviewed Rocket DIY by King Creosote yet. Give us your opinion on Rocket DIY by King Creosote. What we say This record left our Phil feeling happy. Clint. The first disc I have for review this week is a lovely one by King Creosote called 'Rocket D.I.Y.' Its really the most impressive thing I've heard him/them do. Its lovely quaint Scottish pop music that kind of reminds me of being on holiday in a Scottish coastal resort as evening falls, the lights twinkling in the distance. There's some great banjo playing and melodica too. It's all very homespun but the songs are very strong. I guess the nearest comparisons I can think of are early Badly Drawn Boy and a smidge of a rural Belle and Sebastian here and there. Of course this is part of the Fence collective so if you like their stuff you are going to love this. I think this is way superior than most of that stuff and could elevate King Creosote to James Yorkston like status. On Domino/Fence.

About the humble LP:

The LP is the daddy of formats. 12" inches of sheer joy. The LP adds to the glory of the 12" record as it can be played at a slower speed (33rpm instead of the usual 45rpm for singles), consequently more musical joy can be had. Played on a decent deck the sound of an LP is about a million times better than any other format. They look fantastic...... a nice gatefold sleeve with a information rich inner sleeve will keep you entertained for hours even before your stylus has chance to make eye contact with it's 12" prey. An essential part of musical heritage which will never be forgotten. It still does play at a multitude of speeds but as it's recorded to be played slower they normally sound ridiculous sped up. Though double albums can make up for this slight inadequacy by ramming more tunes into your ears for your money. Utterly essential.
