Oct 16, 2017The slower songs are this album’s great strengths: the magnificent Czech One, Lonely Blue and Logos all deal rivetingly with relationships (“her solvent’s dissolved”), while more guitar-oriented tunes such as Dum Surfer recall Jamie T.

Oct 13, 2017That’s definitely not to say that the more languorous tracks don’t have their beautiful moments, with the likes of ‘Lonely Blue’ and ‘Sublunary’ providing an emotional apex to the album.

Oct 13, 2017King Krule on The OOZ is a moribund blossomer. Dark, discordant, vicious rock and moody jazz; more interesting than anything else you're listening to.
