King Creosote returns with first new songs in four years "Susie Mullen" and "Walter de la Nightmare"
King Creosote is back with new tracks "Susie Mullen" and "Walter de la Nightmare" - his first new music in over four years.
"Susie Mullen" and "Walter de la Nightmare" are King Creosote's first new outings since his 2016 album Astronaut Meets Appleman.
Speaking about "Susie Mullen", King Creosote says, "To find the source of inspiration for the music of "Susie Mullen" you need only squeeze the belly of a souvenir camel toy from Egypt to unleash a rather urgent and tinny sounding nursery rhyme in Arabic, jam along in the key of Bb. A Crail live audience in 2017 heard the debut collaboration between KC and camel."
On the second track, King Creosote adds, "The lyrics reference a song by Billy Pilgrim RIP from Fence Sampler #3 in which Walter de la Mare recounts a lightning strike on a large old tree. Nota bene, I am fully aware that ‘lymph nodes’ and ‘emphatic’ do not conflate to ‘node lymphatic’, but it sounds good to my ear, and it provides a much-needed rhyme. Both Susie and Walter have taken over two decades to make their pilgrimage from Egypt to Ullapool."
