From JanglesWe're up to 100 members! Thanks everyone for being a part of The Pocket! It's time for a divisive pick. (At least I think it's divisive.) Archy Marshall (a.k.a. King Krule) is equal parts jazz, dub, rock and trip-hop. He's a bit of Dean Martin and a bit Henry Rollins. He sends us floating in the clouds while dragging us through the gutter. it's always a journey. Man Alive! is the fourth studio release for King Krule. More polish. More intention. A bit more welcoming sonically. Still filled with the grit, grime, and emotional intensity that he's always showcased. Love him? Hate him? Let's discuss!
