That Might Be It, Darling

Background

Following Creosote's performance-only album, My Nth Bit of Strange in Umpteen Years, Anderson stated that Fence Records would refrain from releasing digital download albums; "I have a bad feeling about [digital music] – it’s something I don’t feel comfortable with. I am retiring from anything online, and digital music entirely. If you download 1000 songs, how can you value them? I think there is a malaise at the moment – people see music as some sort of service you get when you get broadband and everything around music has been devalued as a result. [...] We are looking to sell fewer units, but to people who are willing to buy items of higher value. It is a case of admitting that if you do not support us, we are gone. The bands that have already done well, your Radioheads and the like, which have used the industry to get an audience, can give their music away all they like. That audience is big and will probably buy tickets to see them live. But I really despair for Fence acts, for new bands – how can they find the money to promote themselves?"

This Might Be It, Darling is Creosote's first release since this statement, and is only available on vinyl, directly from Anderson, at his shows.
