King Krule’s Space Heavy is out today, June 9th, via Matador Records.
Now a decade out from his debut album as King Krule, Archy Marshall wrote Space Heavy over the past couple of years while traveling back and forth between London and Liverpool, the two cities where he’s been dividing his time. The album is billed as an exploration of “the space between” — or, as a press release explains further, “the space haunted by dreams of love, touching a narrative of lost connection, losing people and situations to the guillotine of the universe.”
Once Marshall wrote the record, he fleshed it out in-studio with producer Dilip Harris, as well as longtime band members saxophonist Ignacio Salvadores, drummer George Bass, bassist James Wilson, and guitarist Jack Towell.
Beginning in July, King Krule will embark on the “Space Heavy Tour,” featuring dates across North America and Europe. Tickets are available here.
Marshall’s last King Krule LP was 2020’s Man Alive!
