    It’s a meandering, angsty and deceptively gritty chronicle of the wonder years, but on repeat listens his guttural, conversational drawl and textured production seem to camouflage some seriously sentimental feelings.

    It's a good album, but somewhere in Archy is a remarkable one.

    6 Feet Beneath the Moon feels incomplete and rushed, with Marshall cramming as many of his ideas as he can into a single album.

    There are plenty of nicely recorded aural treats dotted across 6 Feet Beneath The Moon, but they're swimming in a sea of dull mediocrity.

King Krule gives us his heart, interwoven with the sounds of his head. With every listen one seamlessly flows through the echos and grunts and glitch of his voice, simultaneously flowing in the web of lush sounds- predominantly with the guitar. King Krule however, isn't the first to be different, he simply owns his. His voice in no way brings down the album, but it does leave you only scratching its surface. Sit back and listen to a king work, knowing fully well that all he has is a crown. How much more can he give before he finally has a kingdom?
