    The record also feels like an important moment in time marked on a door frame--it's an intriguing peek into the restless, youthful development of King Krule.

    The five-song King Krule EP locates a tantalizing Venn-diagram intersection of dub and jazz that still somehow manages to recall Billy Bragg and the bleak, baroque pop of Bill Fay.
  3. There's no filler, no fat to be trimmed, simply four solid pop songs and a brief instrumental introduction tied together in a neat fashion.

    We have an airy, understated collage that acts more as a stopgap teaser to keep the spotlight on the young lad from London, before something more cohesive and fully-realized can be recorded.

    He's built a singular world where nothing is in focus.

    He's made a few patient, deliberate expansions of his sonic world and rewarded fans for their interest by letting them flip through his sketchbook.

    Totally enjoyable!!!! Listen to it and feel the good vibes, but the lyrics are marked with painful experience making the listener engaged. He is 17 and I think that he has a good chance of becoming one of the best, not because of his sound but because of his voice which stands out among the rest, just as his music. Full Review »
