King Krule Defies His Demons On New 'Man Alive!' Extract "Alone, Omen 3"


February 06, 2020

At the end of this month, February 21, South London's King Krule will release his third full-length album, Man Alive!, via XL Recordings. He first announced the release last month with lead single "(Don't Let The Dragon) Draag On" and now he's back with the next taste of the album, "Alone, Omen 3".

Haunting as ever, but this time round there's an unmistakable air of optimism about Archy Marshall as he reveals a recent battle with depression that he's only just emerging from. As he explains below, it's the darkness that makes him appreciate the light.

He comments: "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."

Hit play on director Jocelyn Anquetil's intimate and faintly surreal visuals below.
