Here, we assemble a playlist of songs plucked straight from Marshall’s family tree. While it’s easy to throw his music under the broad umbrella of indie, there’s much more to it than simple jangles and crafty lyricism. No, Marshall hails from a scattering of cultish punk rockers and underground ska players (recently, taking over Beats 1’s radio show, Marshall dropped a track called “Fraternize” by his mum’s ex band Uh Oh Chongo). Buried among the success stories lies Archy Marshall, AKA King Krule, whose music has included elements from so many genres that his music is often difficult to classify. It’s not your average middle class upbringing though - mum occasionally dabbling on the flute, dad on “Kumbaya” guitar duties at Christimas. Pouring through his eclectic and vibrant songs, it’s no huge surprise to hear, then, that the south London icon comes from musical heritage. You could say that King Krule is the Lyre of music - there is no sound in the world like his, which jumps fluidly from punk to jazz, to new-wave, hip-hop, dark country and hypnagogic pop. Today, King Krule, also known as Archy Marshall, outlined a slew of tour dates set to coincide with the release of his new LP Space Heavy, which is set to drop on June 9 via Matador. Archy Marshall, who records as King Krule, is a confirmed, dedicated romantic. The uniqueness of its birdsong comes not only from its variety of notes, but how it subtly references tones from its forest surroundings. The Lyre bird is said to have the most complex and rarest call in the world. Today we explore the world of King Krule - from his influence on youth style and uniquely eclectic sound to his mythical south London.
