King Krule, long may he reign, is back with new music for the first time in four years. Having teased us with a guerilla-style postbox marketing campaign, and a news cycle-friendly mention of his failed attempts to work with Frank Ocean, this morning the man of many monikers dropped Czech One, and an accompanying video shot by Frank Lebon. True to form, Czech One sounds like woozy, atmospheric trip-hop reminiscent of a night wandering the streets of Peckham. File next to: Jesse James Solomon. It’s been four years since Archy last released music as King Krule with album 6 Feet Beneath the Moon, and almost two since A New Place 2 Drown, released under his own name.
Czech One will be the A-Side to a limited edition 7″ coming out 13 September on XL Recordings / True Panther Sounds . The video also comes as King Krule announces a worldwide headline tour in the autumn. UK/EU pre-sale going up on Thursday 24 August and on general sale Friday 25 August. More info here.
