King Creosote shares new song ‘It’s Sin That’s Got Its Hold Upon Us’

Following King Creosote’s recent announcement of his first album in seven years - ‘I DES’, out on 3rd November - he has today unveiled the record’s second single and opener, ‘It’s Sin That’s Got Its Hold Upon Us’.

Speaking on the drum and strings-led track, King Creosote has said: “In Autumn 2020 I began building a modular synth, recording patches onto old cassette tapes to make use of the pitch wheel on my tape deck at a later date. As the drum track rumbled to a close, these words from one of Phil Crowter’s sermons burst forth exactly as you hear them, and I had my chorus. The four short verses ought to take on different meanings depending on the listeners’ particular choice of drugs - recreational (whimsical), prescribed (personal), or mandated (diabolical).”
