Rock Bottom by KING KRULE [2012]


King Krule, known to his parents as Archy Marshall, is a lot younger than he sounds.  The 19 year old Brit released his debut album, 6 Feet Beneath the Moon, last month but has been recording since 2010 with Rock Bottom released as a single last year.  Archy, who apparently took his current moniker from a character in Donkey Kong Country, looks like Ron Weasley (circa Goblet of Fire) and has a voice like a MosDef/Joe Strummer love child.  Sounds weird, but it's kinda great.  Stark, rough and minimalist, the full album is definitely a great match for his voice.  King Krule will be performing across Western Europe throughout October.
