Background and recording
In 2010, King Creosote released a vinyl-only studio album, That Might Be It, Darling, which was only available to purchase at live performances. The album was predominantly an acoustic release, with appearances from frequent collaborator Alan "Gummi Bako" Stewart and Rich Young. In December 2010, Creosote and his band entered Chem 19 studios with producer Paul Savage to record a full-band version of the album. Regarding the recording process, Creosote noted, "I wanted Darling to sound like we'd just barged in to the studio and faffed our way through it, which we kind of did, and nothing ended up the way we thought it would."[1]
The Independent's Andy Gill gave the album a very positive review, writing: "[That Might Well Be It, Darling] may well be Kenny Anderson's best album."[2]
