King Krule Unravels Man Alive!: “I’m a very tonal, textural kind of person.”

King Krule’s Archy Marshall calls Kyle Meredith to discuss Man Alive! Parts of the set were originally heard as acoustic versions in a short film released late in 2019, and Marshall says that while it was done in part to appease his label, it also served as a tribute to his love of the guitar.

Listen to the interview above and then check out the videos below.
