Aug 28, 2013You could drop in on 6 Feet Beneath the Moon at any moment and let it unspool to its end, looping back to the start, and feel as captivated as you would at any other point of entry.
-
Aug 23, 2013King Krule is an artist moving a mile a minute, and 6 Feet Beneath the Moon is just the beginning of what will be an amazing career to follow.
-
Aug 27, 2013Marshall’s lyrics are desolate and vehement, but McDonald does a solid job of ensuring that the instrumentation acts as a foil to the bleakness when necessary, providing a counter-redeeming edge to the desolation.
-
Q MagazineJan 27, 2014Though a little limited on variation, 6 Feet Beneath The Moon's careful balance between comedown cook and genuine emotion suggests a new king for both club kids and guitar vets has (finally) arisen. [Oct 2013, p.105]
-
MojoSep 20, 2013When ghost-dub closer bathed In Grey plumbs its valedictory depths and suggests a young Matt Johnson, the loose-but-precise whole seems starkly impressive. [Oct 2013, p.87]
-
Aug 30, 2013Though Out Getting Ribs already gave us little reason to underestimate him, 6 Feet Beneath the Moon holds up as the kind of statement to truly brag about--a debut that’s masterfully crafted, reasonably ambitious, and, more importantly, exists as a truly unique statement.
-
Aug 29, 2013At its core, Krule is showing all sides of his U.K. environment, and the multiple genres laced into the sparse backdrop are held together by an overlying somber grey fog. Peel that back and you have one of the most vital debuts of the year.
-
Aug 27, 2013There are few smiles cracked on an album that’s shot through with the loneliness of the night bus home. But this is a record in the true sense of the word: a document of a certain time and place, an emotional account of a cruel, Krule world.
-
Aug 20, 2013The longer you listen, the more these disparate influences and structured elements coalesce into a very cogent record.
-
Aug 20, 2013British music fans should gaze upon King Krule with great pride. Under immense expectation, he has managed to become the product of his far-flung influences, rather than a pastiche of any.
-
Aug 20, 2013Delivering on all his potential with the sort of nonchalance and assurance we’ve come to expect from the young man, 6 Feet Beneath The Moon is a special album, from a special artist.
-
Aug 20, 2013If you wanted a masterpiece, this isn’t it--it’s too long and stoned for that. Rather, it’s an invigorating, assertive and magical collection that’s probably cleverer than you are.
-
Under The RadarAug 28, 2013It's a harsh listen, but it sounds fresh because it's also unique. [Aug-Sep 2013, p.97]
-
Aug 29, 2013Over the course of 6 Feet's 52 minutes, the sound loses some of its essential mystery. Marshall still has a blood-freezing voice, someone to pay attention to, but 6 Feet Beneath the Moon doesn't feel like his Big Statement, not yet.
-
Aug 30, 2013At this point, Marshall is one of the most naturally gifted songwriters on the scene, and 6FBTM is solid evidence of that.
-
Aug 30, 2013What 6 Feet Beneath the Moon does is throw all that into a sleek binder, one that’s filled with brutally honest portraits of a young artist and an almost alien blueprint for a promising career that could go in any direction Marshall chooses.
-
Aug 28, 20136 Feet, like Me Moan before it, succeeds sometimes in spite of itself.
-
Aug 27, 2013Archy Marshall makes music that's pleasantly out of focus.
-
Aug 22, 20136 Feet Beneath The Moon broods, spits confidence and sits, thinks just as much.
-
Aug 20, 20136 Feet Beneath The Moon is an album of mixed emotions, a complex work of focused, driven highs and meandering, confusing lows.
