ARCHY IVAN MARSHALL MAC

In fact, itвЂ™s his voice вЂ“ dark, ragged, insert any other thematically continuous synonyms you wish *here* вЂ“ that is the star of the show for most of the LPвЂ™s sixty-six minute long run time. ItвЂ™s also here that MarshallвЂs vocals come to the fore, and the listener is reminded again of just how much of a great singer he is, his midnight croon erupting into a visceral roar at the drop of a low-slung baseball cap. Biscuit Town shows the album is more content with its own claustrophobia, and this feeling is continued with second track The Locomotive, a song that manages to combine dub, post-punk, heavy metal and Blur-esque pop without sounding like a train crash. The nocturnal feel from his debut, and the New Place 2 Drown project under his own name, remains, but feels less suffocated in reverb. The scene isnвЂ™t merely set with opening track Biscuit Town вЂ“ it shuffles menacingly through the fog of a London street at night, muttering violent nothings under its breath as trademark jazzy guitars slither on the concrete bed of a waltzing electronic drum beat. The truth is, King Krule is a far more interesting artist than any of these half-arsed resemblances, and on his sophomore effort The OOZ,В he becomes quite clearly just that вЂ“ an artist, a musician just as much dedicated to his image, his sound and his atmosphere as he is his songcraft.

Lazier writers might be inclined to make comparisons to contemporaries such as Mac DeMarco and Jamie T, or classic songwriters who reported from the gritty frontline of working class society, like Joe Strummer or J Dilla. Having s pent approximately seven years in the game now, Archy Ivan Marshall вЂ“ known professionally as King Krule вЂ“ still remains something of an anomaly in the already eclectic world of British indie music, due to his mish-mashing of several disparate genres to create something entirely different, almost like a child building a bastard Lego creation from arbitrary blocks.
