On 6 Feet Beneath The Moon, his first album as King Krule, Marshall gently expands the instrumentation of his earlier recordings, incorporating piano, shimmering electronic textures and horns.
With true, human conflict between happiness and sadness on full display, Man Alive! is unequivocally King Krule’s, or better yet, Archy Marshall’s most sobering work yet.
It's honestly so crazy that a guy who named himself after a nintendo character makes music as good as this and has had such a lasting impact on music. KING KRULE FOREVER!
King Krule's sound, a hypnotic mixture indebted to working class British songsmiths like Billy Bragg as much as NY No-Wave and Hip Hop carries a maturity and depth far beyond his years.
