We, the contributors, love and support well-made music and make every effort to support the artists we love by purchasing their work (it is our policy only to post what we own). Through this site, we're simply trying to share good music with others who will also hopefully continue to support these artists. We encourage everyone to purchase music and concert tickets for the artists you feel merit your hard earned dollars. Also, if you own the copyright to one of these songs and would like a song removed, please let us know.
A beautiful, tender, intelligent and elegant update on the blues, the music of King Krule is somehow also the single most British music I’ve heard in years. While we Americans tunnel down the twin rabbit holes of blown out amps and blown out vocal cords, Archy Marshall seems to be more interested in soul. The callback to the kindred spirit from Empty Cans at the end totally seals it.
Great post. Sometimes we observe things (or listen to them) based on surface value. British + dreamy + glitchy dub style drumming in the B section would not seem to = blues. Truly this is a reminder that “blues” or “soul” is not a type of musical descriptor or genre, but a feeling. Thank you for posting this lovely music and your wonderful observation on its merit as blues
