A late entry to the 2015 album list, the young and talented 20 year old Archy Marshall (better known as 'King Krule' or 'Zoo Kid')'s latest digital album "A new place 2 drown", may have just made it as one of the better ones of the year. Indeed it is one to have on repeat if you're an indie/blues/jazz fan who likes to dabble into other genres such as the realms of trip-hop or electronica.
This album is deep, meaningful and has been a long time coming! Little has been heard from Marshall since the release of his first single in 2010 other than his fantastic album "6 feet beneath the Moon" (well worth a listen). Throughout this time, Marshall has treated his music as loose change, producing one track here and there with a spattering of different genres from Hip-hop through to Jazz. Whilst his first album was dominated by crooning, deep vocals, with punchy and complex guitar progressions, "A new place 2 drown" shifts from dramatically from this style. Ratherhis latest work dissolves and drifts through 37 minutes of dreamlike elemental beats. Marshall truly reaches his top standards presenting a variety of moods, textures and tracks of pure creativity which simply has to be heard to be believed.
