Archy Marshall, aka King Krule, broke out two years ago at the tender age of 16 with his eponymous EP released on True Panther. Six Feet Beneath The Moon takes the potential evident in the EP and blows it out of the water. Across 14 tracks Archy expertly weaves incredible stories of London life, his own relationships and experiences withthe swagger of a street poet, all in his incredibly distinct smoky baritone. The album, recorded mostly near Archy’s South London home with producer Rodaidh McDonnell (The xx, Savages, How To Dress Well) is stark but incredibly rich - painting with a pallate full of hip hop, jazz, no-wave and poetic influences. The album shares the eclectic confidence of some of the last decade’s most important debuts – Arctic Monkeys’ Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not’, The Streets’ Original Pirate Material and Dizzee Rascal’s Boy In Da Corner. It is somehow both a perfect summary of a young man’s life in a particular part of London and a universal, deeply moving and compelling statement. Most importantly, it’s a voice that is sure to be with us for quite some time. “Marshall’s ability to write these world-weary songs at such a young age is a pretty incredible skill. He’s somehow able to tap into all that impotent youthful rage, but with the wisdom of someone much older.” –Fader “Having previously recorded as Zoo Kid before switching to King Krule, former Brit Schooler Archy Marshall has been at this game rather longer than his tender years suggest. But it's with his current crop of songs that he's rightly turning heads. As 2013 unfolds it's likely to find King Krule carving a niche every inch as impressive as those of his influences.” - BBC - Sound of 2013 “There's this kid King Krule who is really sick and I would love to do something with. He has a special voice, really cool.” - Frank Ocean “A pleasant dissonance arises when he opens his mouth, and from his slight body emerges a deep, rich sound. His barked out lyrics are first person and loop through cryptic, emotionally raw experiences. A dubstep influence is there, but mostly in his modern sensibility as his music is guitar-anchored...his seriousness is a welcome counterweight to the YouTube-driven fame of his contemporaries like Justin Bieber and Cody Simpson. “Teenager” need not be pejorative when it comes to lyricism.” - New YorkTimes
