King Creosote And Jon Hopkins: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concerts

To immerse yourself in King Creosote and Jon Hopkins' album Diamond Mine is to be transported to the Scottish countryside. Standing in the NPR Music offices, the album's unassuming creators somehow lose little of their mystique.

Set List:
"John Taylor's Month Away"
"Bubble"
"Cockle Shell"
"And The Racket They Made"

King Creosote is my favorite singer today - I’m an American and I don’t know how I stumbled upon him, it was an accident, like an autoplay situation, but the moment his voice came out of my speakers I stopped dead in my tracks the way I do every time since then. He’s not a singer I can put on to sing along to while I do other things, because I’m always glued to the spot. What a beautiful beautiful soul.

My mother passed away with cancer a few years ago and she ended her days at my sisters with all of us looking after her until it was time for the wonderful nurses to step in with their lovely caring ways to help us during the days and nights. We played
"Diamond Mine" always in the background hoping she could hear this lovely music and take it with her." John Taylor's Month Away" was played as the coffin was brought in. I don't need to express how terrible it is to see any loved one die from this terrible undignified disease or any other horrible terminal illness. Life is so short and cruel upon times but how comforting to know that memories survive with the help of personal memories, photographs and beautiful music like this. So sorry for anyone who has lost or losing a loved one through an illness. From a Son, Husband and a Father.❤

Damn, I hope they get back together eventually and make another record.
Diamond Mine was a pure masterpiece (as is most of King Creosote & Jon Hopkins' works)
They work so well together & their respected sounds together meld like colors.
NEED. MORE.

This man is a treasure

I can't believe I'm just finding out about him


His music cuts right to my center and makes me feel so sad and so warm at the same time

John Taylor's Month Away touches me deeply every time

[terjedahl]

My first time in Iceland and I bought this record in Reykjavik, even if its not Icelandic I will always have the assosiation of the songs and Iceland. Perfect.

Top 10 album of the 2010s. Been listening for years but somehow missed this video, so cool!

Middle of a busy day... lots to do... a quick browse with a cup of tea, and this stopped me in my tracks. Just beautiful

Stumbled upon KC maybe a year ago and fell in love with him and his music from there on.

From Russia with love and hope for the future!

Amazing. One of the best songwriters we have in the UK. Diamond mines (the while album) is one of my desert Island Discs. I noticed he can get five notes out of one short word in a lyric. Top notch.

My favorite Artists. Absolutely gorgeous. Reminds me of home!

Creosote has the rare aura of a humble and caring man. The music is a window from his soul to ours.

How come I’ve only just found this video? As soon as it was released I realised Diamond Mine was an extraordinary album. Was lucky enough to catch Kenny and Jon touring I guess within a year or so of the albums release.
Loving this little video ❤
