It’s been just about four years to the day since King Krule dropped his stellar introductory album, 6 Feet Beneath The Moon. Since then, Krule — née Archy Marshall — has worked with RATKING, Mount Kimbe and others. He’s also released a digital album, A New Place 2 Drown, under his government name with his brother.
Today, Krule returns to solo form with a new song, “Czech One.” It’ll be released by XL Recordings as a 7″, but it also may be an indicator a new album is coming as he’s announced a tour of North America and Europe starting October 21. (That’s a good sign that an album will drop before then.)
As for the song, it’s intoxicating and soulful like songs from his debut album. Marshall floats for four minutes, despondent about a relationship that seems to not being coming to fruition because of his motivation and mental state.
