But in reality, there’s a far deeper connection tying all Marshall’s work together that throbbing pulse of modern, inner-city discontent and the release provided by creativity, in whatever form it might take. The obvious thread to draw amongst Marshall’s work is that baritone voice, so at odds with his skinny-framed exterior as to almost be laughable. In an odd way, that unfairly downplays the weight of Archy's first album since 6 Feet Beneath the Moon. It’s all unashamedly gritty, like a post-watershed episode of Skins without the plot-tying happy ending. Published King Krule has just one album to his name, 2013s 6 Feet Below the Moon, but now the 21-year-old British songwriter born Archy Marshall is already branching out with a new. A New Place 2 Drown Review by Andy Kellman This was termed the 'accompanying soundtrack' to a collaborative book from Archy 'King Krule' Marshall and his brother Jack - an assemblage of their art, poetry, and photography. Elsewhere, he’s smoking entire days away on ‘Ammi Ammi’ and peering through a drug-soaked haze at the object of his affections on ‘Buffed Sky’. “Even though you fucked him, I don’t really give a shit,” he admits on ‘Arise Dear Brother’, a palpable weariness to his drawl. Turning the lens on himself, it’s more introspective, touching on relationships and self-worth without ever losing that smirk and shrug in his delivery. That jagged King Krule edge is smoothed over, its rougher edges washed-away by smooth synths, and while lements of his beat production work under the DJ JD Sports moniker return to cut through the haze - most notably on rumbling highlight ‘The Sea Liner Mk 1’ - on the whole it’s a smoggier offering.Īrchy Marshall’s not cloudy-headed though - if anything he sounds more self-aware than ever before. Those waiting for King Krule’s return won’t be disappointed, but ‘A New Place 2 Drown’ is undoubtedly a work of its own. It’s a flood of the senses for all those who’ve been bemoaning his disappearance in early 2014. ‘A New Place 2 Drown’ is his boldest statement to date, in that regard: a 208-page book of poetry and illustration and an accompanying short film come packaged with the record itself.
