KING KRULE - SPACE HEAVY / 2023 / MATADOR / PSYCHEDELIC SLOWCORE

Y'all know this is just my opinion, right?

[.N.A.M]

Your review of The Ooz is my MBDTF moment.

A strong 8 is basically a light 9 and a light 9 is basically a decent 9 to strong 9 which is a 10 so King Krule did it again!

[NamelessInternaut]

You would've given it a 10 if it was made by King K. Rool.

Crazy how consistent King Krule has been throughout his career. Not one dud in his discography thus far imo. This new album is also brilliant, it’s amazing how you can hear his sound be translated into something a bit more optimistic while still sounding as good as ever. Not all artists who’ve attempted a more positive album after a slew of sad music have been successful, so it’s satisfying to see Archy pull it off so wonderfully.

Archy's writing is so fucking pretty, I would have no problems if he decided to just write poetry from now on.

[kwamebeni]

The OOZ "straight up unpalatable", "repetitive", and "skeletal"? It's literally got the most immersive soundscape I've ever heard on wax. It may not be incredibly dynamic but it's definitely dynamic enough to the point where it remains congruent as a whole whilst still having its up's and down's sonically.

Archie’s like half a second scream on hamburgerphobia made me realize how desperately I need a King Krule full blown punk record.

[camdromeda]

genuinely how is seagirl your least favorite song it is ethereal and beautiful, best off the album

[Hi-fdcw]

Giving Space Heavy an 8/10 doesn’t make up for you giving The Ooz a negative review, Melon!

[Spectre]

MY BOY ARCHY FINALLY GOT THAT YELLOW FLANNEL LET'S

[ephemeralpanacea]

Much higher score than I was thinking you'd give it but stoked you enjoyed it! Though it still astounds me how consistently you don't enjoy my favorite tracks from multiple records, "From the Swamp" and "Seagirl" are some of my favorite Archy tracks to date!!

[miggy_martinez]

My album of the year, I’ve had this album on repeat.

[nellissh]

Empty Stomach Space Cadet is by far my favorite song on this album. The whole album is 🔥

[bigsmerdo]

seaforth is easily my track of the year so far, had it on repeat since it released

[oscarballesteros]

My fav King Krule album so far. I have been listening to him for quite a while now, when Man Alive! came out, I loved it to bits. I was kind of afraid he couldn’t top it, and I’m so glad I was so wrong. I’m gonna hold this album so close to my heart forever now.

[earnestBog]

Seagirl worst track??? What??? Did we even listen to the same song? It might b my favorite song this year so far. Fair album rating tho

[xylazinezombie]

Got to meet Archy after seeing him in Vancouver during his tour for the Ooz. My friend and I were super drunk and my buddy offered him a cigarette, which he happily accepted. My friend used to smoke Viceroys, which I'm positive was only because of Mac DeMarco but he always claimed this was just coincidence and that he just loved them. Upon handing King Krule the cigarette, Archy responded with "Oh Viceroys? These are what Mac DeMarco smokes, right?" Cool guy. Most artists wouldn't accept a cigarette off a random fan. The same friend and I met both members of MGMT after one of their shows and he also offered one of them (Ben) a cigarette, to which he declined and said "No thanks, I've got my own." What an asshole. (Joking).

There’s are great reworks of the Ooz on his live album, You Heat Me Up, You Cool Me Down

[yashsolanki]

Hell yes. Now just need the Squid album to also get a yellow flannel.

[anatoly]

Empty Stomach Space Cadet might be the best produced track I heard this year
