King Creosote Says "Buy The Bazouki Hair Oil"

---

Released in 2001 0n Fence Records : FNC 16

---

"Hi gran. with this next batch of recordings, i've hauled my old bazouki out of the coal cellar, borrowed a banjo, and although the tunes are largely acoustic / melodic / reminiscent of "i am 9", i've a feeling you'll be hearing a whole load of wineglass vibrations coming up through the floor."
"buy the bazouki hair oil ...... !!!" - or a phrase not unlike it - but KC had already scarpered downstairs!

English Bore : Anaesthesia Diary

I must admit to not knowing very much about this. In fact to be totally honest, I haven't even heard it all the way through yet. The thing is I've got a busy weekend ahead then I'm away until Friday so I won't be able to post until then so I'm trying to put enough stuff together for a few posts while I can. Anyway from what I can gather this mini album(?) by English Bore was part of the 'Picket Fence' series of cd-rs which were only made available to subscribers during 2007. One of the reasons for posting this without first hearing it is the fact that it is a Fence Records release which usually means some sort of quality control. I've yet to be left completely disappointed in any Fence release yet although some stuff is obviously better than others.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

English Bore is the ambient soundscape guitar drone and whatever project of john amino (amino people) with help from various others such as let our enemies beware and the fence collective. the project was born from a love of messing about with effects pedals and listening to my bloody valentine records too much (and not having a drummer).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

John Amino says [excerpts]: 'ambient guitar experimentalism, drone, soundscapes or whatever you want to call it' ... t'he project or band started from my love of those bits on those early 90's shoegaze songs where everyone stopped playing and just made noise. That bit in 'feed Me With Your Kiss' by My Bloody Valentine' ... 'or on Sonic Youth records when the delays on the guitar takes over the sound' ... 'it's Marmite music, you'll probably either love it or hate it'.

King Creosote : Happy Never After

This track is taken from a Fence Records sampler called 'Fence Go Fishin' - Fence Sampler #2'. Released in 1999 or 2000, I can't find an exact date. The cd-r contained tracks by Lone Pigeon, King Creosote, Pip Dylan, Bummi Bako and Mundo Jazz amongst others. I bought the album direct from Fence in August 2002 via the website. Well in fact I didn't buy the album at all. What actually happened was I ordered the very first Fence sampler, Who's Afraid Of Fence? which was also released as a cd-r. The kind people at Fence generously added 8 tracks from the 2nd sampler on at the end. The e-mail I recieved confirming that my purchase(s) had been posted out that day said 'sampler #1 - plus the best of sampler #2 (now deleted) has been posted out today first class! Thankfully, the music outshines the artwork!!'. Not many record companies are that honest or generous. The honesty theme continues to this day on the website with this description of 'Fence Go Fishin'. 'The Fence sampler that time forgot. Some gems, some guff'. Brilliant stuff .
So here from Fence Go Fishin' is ... King_Creosote_-_Happy_Never_After
