Denzel Himself Reworks King Krule's Ode To Restlessness "Stoned Again"
November 25, 2021
Back with another punk-inspired slice of alt-rap, Denzel Himself returns with a take on King Krule's "Stoned Again", lifted from last year's Man Alive!. Far from a note-for-note cover, Denzel places the track into an entirely new context, while still keeping the track's restless spirit alive.
Where the original was a sludgey, bluesy number, Denzel's version flips it into a rap workout that's torn between the unsettling lyrics and the off-kilter, occasionally colourful instrumental that wouldn't sound entirely out of place in the club, albeit with an abrasive, unsettling edge.
Hit play on the self-directed visuals below.
