Jesus, all those kids look like just that, kids. But they are fucking so tight together and have great timing and feel. They look like every shitty garage band we tried to start in high school, but they are just on top of things. Great performance.

[@isaiahmartinez3350]

TheOnlyRealJohn well hes 18 right here, hes definitly an adult here and so are his homies 18 and 19 to 20, your an adult by 16 in London, they mature faster than us in America, shows in his content, and hes been around for awhile

[@Apacolyptic]

The thing with "every shitty garage band" is that they all give up too early and easily before they start getting anywhere.

[@cannedcorn]

Isaiah Martinez Lol, yea they dont mature faster than us. Archie is just a crazy talented dude.

[@7sterling]

They also get actual music training in school if they want it.

[@Flecky]

yeah butmost of the people do fuck all in the lessons or just play the recorder

[@Retroscopy]

Damn I really wish more people listened to King Krule. His music is too damn good.

[@veldt7038]

Same he needs way more attention

[@alldud13]

I'm honestly glad he doesn't, I don't want this to turn into overhyped garbage like most singers just let him stay on the down low

Incredibly wise kid for his age lyrically.. this is fantastic with the drums

[@alldud13]

Can't tell if ur joking this is the most basic drivel I've ever heard I still like the song tho

[@TheKidninja]

he wrote it when he was 12

[@jaysonwilson2697]

Basic means not aesthetically pleasing to the ear? I wasn't commenting on technical musicianship, I just dig the kid and the band because the album version doesn't have drums. I felt it was a nice logical step

[@jaysonwilson2697]

Oooooh lyrically it is basic and I just realized thats what you were talking about. Sorry I'm high man haha

[@3acharyy87]

..you understood what he was saying?

[@ryancarpenter9289]

why does he consistently put out recordings that in no way at all capture the greatness of his live performances. honestly, every live performance he does for his songs sounds better than his recordings.

[@DeepFrigidWinter]

+Ryan Carpenter wrong. the live versions are nice, but they don't even come close to the raw soul of the album versions

[@NoobSkaateTV]

+Deep Frigid Winter I agree wth this to an extent Out getting ribs is its purest in the studio recording But baby blue sounds better live imo

[@beflygelt]

Ryan Carpenter 6FBTM is fantastically produced, engineered, and performed. He's a great performer, but the studio versions stand on their own easily, and are IMO a good bit superior to the live takes

[@DeepFrigidWinter]

beflygelt 6 feet is my favorite album of all time, no question, and the production is the gold standard that everyone should be aiming for

[@ezra9243]

different mediums of music capture different vibes. live - can be personalised, and intimate and lively and spinoff from recorded

how does he seems super confident and super insecure at the same time

Always liked how Letterman thanked King Krule for choosing his platform to make their network debut in the US. It may seem like a small thing, but to me, it shows that David was always a humble guy and had a great deal of respect for the artists who came onto his show.

[@IHasKittyCat]

yeah i am

[@IHasKittyCat]

Snuffy Smith no i'm just kind of an ass sometimes haha. also i was kind of trying to give him advice, what i said is true. If you sent an email to a record label or even a venue that you wanted to play with terrible grammar, they most likely won't even read your email, thats just the way it is. I'm not judging his creative ability or his ability to songwrite, or even that he idolizes Archie because he rips on guitar and is extremely talented, I was simply being cynical and saying that bad grammar doesn't bode well in the music or really any industry.

[@jonnybeag887]
