King Krule unveils new single "Alone, Omen 3"
King Krule is back with "Alone, Omen 3", the second taster of his forthcoming album Man Alive!.
"Alone, Omen 3" lands after last month's "(Don’t Let The Dragon) Draag On".
King Krule, aka Archy Marshall, says of the new release, "I felt like I had gotten out of a dark place, and I was on a high. I appreciated the depression… but I also liked how I felt better in the here and now."
Man Alive! will follow on from King Krule's Mercury Prize nominated second album The Ooz.
Marshall partly recorded his new album at Shrunken Heads in Nunhead, London with co-producer Dilip Harris before the arrival of his daughter with Charlotte Patmore in March 2019.
He relocated to North West England when he found out about his daughter, and resumed recording his new LP at Eve Studios in Stockport when he moved.
Marshall says the new album title "is an exclamation, about the times we live in. Like, 'Fucking hell, man!'". He got the title from a CD his uncle gave him back in 2013, and he originally planned to use it for The Ooz. Marshall adds, "But ‘The Ooz’ really summed up that record, just this splurge of everything I love – messy and with no direction. I thought, anyway, 'Nah, I can’t steal it off him', but now I'm like, 'Fuck it, I'm gonna use it!' I haven't really spoken to him about it actually. I just liked the idea of it as an exclamation. It's kind of like, 'Oh shit!’, but I didn't wanna call it that, I wanted it to be 'Man Alive!' – super-Americanized, like a saying from Adam West as Batman."
