So, after a few days and several dozen listens later, I have to say that this is both a totally genius and equally as confusing lead single.
It seems like a kind of mixture of 'The Noose of Jah City' and 'Cementality' — that kind of ultra pretty Fender Rhodes vamp sort of thing. But, something else completely different in the mix, as well. It's almost sparse to a confrontational degree. It has shades of things he's done previously in it, but I can't really, truly liken it directly to them. It was actually kind of jarring on first listen, because of how subdued it is. I'm just taking it face value presently, but if I were to go to that next step of assessment, I would say that, when 'Easy Easy' was released as the lead single to the first album four years ago, it was a fantastic, victorious moment for him. But, musically speaking, it was not in the least bit unexpected. 'Czech One', on the other hand, I can honestly say I did not see coming at all. So, in terms of just doing something completely different, this is another successful moment for him.
However, considering he just played Prima Vera Sound a few months ago and aired out several new songs, yet 'Czech One' was not among them, makes me think that this new record is going to be something of a challenge. A challenge that I wholly welcome, especially if the results are as fruitful as 'Czech One.'

'Dum Surfer' hit YouTube this morning and it's a dark, hazy wash of a song. If 'Czech One' was super sparse, 'Dum Surfer' is the opposite, filling every corner and darkened space with reverb and delay washes.
And, holy hell, NINETEEN songs in the tracklist?!
Just going off what I've seen and heard so far, this album is going to be absolutely huge in sound and ambition.

No, actually. I think that's why I'm so taken with this new material. In the past, when he put out new music, it felt like an addition on the foundation he had established previously.
This new material, though. . . just seems to have come from out of nowhere. There are still touchstones of his major influences —namely hyper literate new wave (Josef K, Aztec Camera, etc.) and 60s era post-bop jazz— but, just going on these two new songs, he's really taken it in another direction entirely.

― hackshaw, Thursday, 14 September 2017 20:31 (six days ago) Permalink
seems like he got really into the beats/hip-hop thing for awhile (that marshall album) and now that he's back to king krule it's like a combination of the two styles. he talks in that new pitchfork thing about hanging out with rappers too much and then going "wait, i forgot i play guitar" or something like that. haha.
― hackshaw, Thursday, 14 September 2017 20:39 (six days ago) Permalink
Nah, pretty big hip hop influence on 6 Feet Beneath the Moon. I mean, 'Shades of Grey' and 'A Neptune Estate' were basically MPC beats. With live horns and guitar on it and then the remix had actual rappers on it in the case of 'Neptune Estate.' And he's always had his DJ JD Sports Soundcloud where he posts random beats. And then the Sub Luna City album as well.
― he doesn't need to be racist about it though. (Austin), Thursday, 14 September 2017 23:48 (six days ago) Permalink
def an influence from the start but specifically on the archy album and his random collabs. these feel more official and not just like some random project, cause it's under the krule name.
― hackshaw, Thursday, 14 September 2017 23:57 (six days ago) Permalink
I think that's always been where the big connection to his music for me stems from. Even though there's practically a generation and a half between my age and his, we've both had similar musical journeys as kind of hip hop junkies that just got really into Bill Evans and new wave.

I don't know if it's just me or not but I'm kinda surprised at the intensity of the positive reactions here. I gave it an ear as mentioned and...I don't know if 'forced' is the right term but it sure really seems like it makes an effort to demonstrate how much of an effort is being made.
