    By being one of the few artists producing this heavy lo-fi concept... it's hard not to appreciate his art. Here we will be able to find a nice place to be lazy, to lay back and let the music and time carry us away. There is no big intensity, but you can feel the authentic weight of aura Kin Krulo builds up. There is no true melancholy, but, one more time, this is more of a gas cloud soBy being one of the few artists producing this heavy lo-fi concept... it's hard not to appreciate his art.

There is no big intensity, but you can feel the authentic weight of aura Kin Krulo builds up. There is no true melancholy, but, one more time, this is more of a gas cloud so dense with repressed feelings, that it makes it a nice dark place to lose yourself. I just expect he doesn't get any more dense, or his music will become some very hard to hear.… Expand

    Хороший альбом. Для меня всё же Man Alive! будет чуть-чуть посильнее, но это достойное продолжение. Empty Stomach Space Cadet лучшая песня тут, как и Hamburgerophobia. В целом, Арчи Маршалл и команда не разочаровали: ещё более седативно и лоу-файно, чем на прошлом альбоме. Для меня минус в том, что здесь больше, чем в том же Man Alive! однообразного звучания в середине альбома. ОднакоХороший альбом.

    Dark yet delicate. Not a bad song on the whole project, highlights for me are Flimsier, That Is My Life, That Is Yours, Hamburgerphobia, From The Swamp, Our Vacuum & Space Heavy.

    For me as a whole record it grows and grows on you with every listen and might be his best album to date.

    Contradiction proves mesmerizing across Space Heavy’s tightly executed 45 minutes.

    Dark and sonically cavernous, Marshall's fourth release as King Krule fills the innermost spaces of his soul with glacial rhythms that vacillate with tension and release.

    Though Space Heavy is more emotionally preoccupied than its predecessors, Krule hasn’t lost his assured, inventive style.
