King Krule - i love this hipster shit

and yeah- "our vacuum" is probably my favorite thing initially. he's still very much the best ever.

y'know what? idc if it makes me sound like a hipster doofus, i'm just gonna say it: a lot of this new record sounds like slovenly. not the two guitars thing, but just the overall idea of the music - that is: jazzy punk/punky jazz that is constantly trying to reconcile the inherent madness of existing in a dense population, a metropolitan circus.

still not wild about the pre-release songs -and initial gut reaction says it's his "worst" yet- but this is pretty fucking good.

"this music makes me not like you."

so anyway, fuck this album. 3 mics. worst yet. not even a song on here i'd put on my year-end mixtape. best thing about it was the cover art. oh well.

first thing I've heard by him, I like it. "Flimsier" is great.

Kind of a dark disco thing. Whoooo. . .!

2024 revisit--

fucking hell. the ooz was so good it completely obscured this. after the disappointment of space heavy it sounds godlike. holy smokes.

newest collab with mount kimbie is called ' empty and silent ' + it fulfills my demented mind's deepest darkest fantasies of aztec camera's 'knife' going full krautrock. it's ... (jack black in high fidelity sigh) ... really fucking good. the best thing from either camp in many years. long may he reign.

on repeat for the past 30 minutes

had to move along, but yeah: this is a big one. def approved for all audiences.

I don't usually love this hipster shit but... this is great

Broken Marshall Scene (I need to give this a fuller/more relaxed listen tbh--my fave Kimbie/Krule collab continues to be "You Took Your Time" off Cold Spring Fault Less Youth by quite a wide margin fwiw)
