Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "King Creosote" in English language version.
I used to make records with a band called Skuobhie Dubh Orchestra, but always had to record a lot of my songs on my own. I wanted to put out these recordings on my own label Fence, so then I needed something to go on the fence. That's the creosote part. I wrote down King Creosote, and immediately liked the juxtaposition of the regal and the carcinogenic.
