Built from songs drawn from across two decades of Anderson's catalogue, it was recorded gradually over several years, without deadline pressure, and shaped into a compact 32-minute album intended to be heard as a single uninterrupted experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes \u003cem\u003eDiamond Mine\u003c\/em\u003e distinctive is the balance between intimate folk writing and Hopkins' patient electronic framing. Anderson's lyrics and vocals sit inside arrangements filled with piano, found sounds and small details from coastal life, reflecting his own description of the record as a soundtrack to a romanticised life in a Scottish seaside village. That setting matters: the album weaves in everyday textures and atmosphere without losing sight of the songs themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is gentle on the surface but emotionally precise underneath. Tracks such as \u003cem\u003eBats in the Attic\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eBubble\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eYour Young Voice\u003c\/em\u003e show how the duo could make older King Creosote material feel newly suspended in air, turning familiar songwriting into something dreamlike, pastoral and quietly intense. For listeners who like the meeting point between modern folk and thoughtful electronica, this remains a beautifully self-contained record.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cq\u003eThough slight, it's worth 32 minutes of your time.\u003c\/q\u003e - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/global\/2011\/mar\/24\/king-creosote-jon-hopkins-diamond-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/jon-hopkins\"\u003eJon Hopkins\u003c\/a\u003e, King Creosote\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e Domino, Double Six\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_uk\"\u003eUK\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/electronic-vinyl-records\"\u003eElectronic\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/downtempo\"\u003eDowntempo\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/folk\"\u003eFolk\u003c\/a\u003e\n          \n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Jon+Hopkins,+King+Creosote+First+Watch\"\u003eFirst Watch\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Jon+Hopkins,+King+Creosote+John+Taylor's+Month+Away\"\u003eJohn Taylor'S Month Away\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Jon+Hopkins,+King+Creosote+Bats+In+The+Attic\"\u003eBats In The Attic\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA4 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Jon+Hopkins,+King+Creosote+Running+On+Fumes\"\u003eRunning On Fumes\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB5 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Jon+Hopkins,+King+Creosote+Bubble\"\u003eBubble\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB6 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Jon+Hopkins,+King+Creosote+Your+Own+Spell\"\u003eYour Own Spell\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB7 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Jon+Hopkins,+King+Creosote+Your+Young+Voice\"\u003eYour Young Voice\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Domino, Double Six","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50598577569857,"sku":"2827066","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/king-creosote-jon-hopkins-diamond-mine-lp-a__12982.1750042571.jpg?v=1790924419","url":"https:\/\/www.dutchvinyl.com.au\/products\/king-creosote-jon-hopkins-diamond-mine-387475","provider":"Dutch Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
