KC has actually been putting out homemade albums as the head of the Fence Collective, a coterie of like-minded musicians who use folk music as a jumping-off point for “skewered lo-fi folk, folkadelica, twisted folk, freak folk''. Other Fencers include James Yorkston, Lone Pigeon(who also guests on this album) and countless other bands. Homemade CD-Rs are the order of the day for most of these acts, but occasionally an official Fence Collective release finds the light of day on Fence’s own label, or through Bad Jazz Records. With that groundwork laid, King Creosote’s
Kenny and Beth’s Musakal Boat Rides released in 2003 splits the difference by appearing on Domino records as his first official solo album, which is really a compilation of home recordings and earlier fence label offerings dating back to 1995.
Part of KC's success is that even in these lo-fi productions there are some ambitious ideas floating around, whether that be on the building loop structures of 'So Forlorn' or the beautifully haunting 'Lavender Moon'
