‘Diamond Mine’ is a unique and heartrending collaboration between Scottish Fence Collective boss and singer King Creosote and electronic talent and sound sculptor Jon Hopkins.
Described by King Creosote as a “soundtrack to a romanticised version of a life lived in a Scottish coastal village”, the record weaves in field recordings of Fife life, bike wheels, spring tides, tea cups and café chatter to produce a beautiful, unique and timeless album.
The album is already being talked about as King Creosote’s masterpiece, a modern equivalent of Talk Talk’s ‘Spirit of Eden’.
