This dude can full out spit bars and rap then goes and plays the most chilled out jazz not to mention he always plays and loves Punk , dudes like the best of everything

Yeah it’s insane, he like fuses punk, grunge and jazz together. Band is excellent and so is the song writing.

[@aet9802]

At 3:34 the drummer puts his stick under his arm to adjust his snare and then just comes right back in and doesn't miss a beat. That is talent. Also shoutout to the bass player. That guy deserves some love. He kept it all together and never lost the beat. Such an amazing performance

They're all in total sync. Mesmerizing performance. The subtly of Connor's delay textures are really adding to the atmosphere of this performance. I wish we could have seen Emergency Blimp in this office space, and/or La Lune. Hopefully next time. Incredible to watch. Thank you, King Krule and NPR.

You know what’s so funny ? I feel like this jazzy-souls drenched R&B infused alternate stuff is the new wave sorta like how Grunge was in the 90s. Another thing I notice was that a lot of these young cats are trained in jazz

i don’t really get the grunge comparison but it’s definitely a scene or a movement that i’m honestly buzzing to be a part of and will look back on in the future

[@rossbagley7968]

yes

[@archer9855]

Agreed but idk if there's much of an identity or "entity" to establish this genre as a new movement like grunge was in the 90s. The only "new wave" movement that's really happening right now is the "Soundcloud" mumble/emo rap movement

Saw this guy on acid and it was amazing. Allowed me to appreciate him much much more than i ever would have. His whole performance was essentially a curation of punk, jazz, rnb, and rock influences stirred into one beautiful reverb-laden emotive soup. The visuals were just as haunting and moody. I will never ever forget that show.

Theres nothing quite like King Krule and his boys. To find jazzy, though provoking, head bopping music like this is so so so refreshing. Just the tonal & key changes are so much fun to follow like in traditional jazz but with a new soul poured into it, especially hearing it live. UGH SO GOOD.

[@adamlarp1]

This amazing moment at 2:16 when murmurs in russian starts Michael Lermontov's poetry: Белеет парус одинокой В тумане моря голубом!.. Что ищет он в стране далекой? Что кинул он в краю родном?... Играют волны - ветер свищет, И мачта гнется и скрыпит… Увы! он счастия не ищет И не от счастия бежит! Под ним струя светлей лазури, Над ним луч солнца золотой… А он, мятежный, просит бури, Как будто в бурях есть покой! // The sail is whitening alone In the blue sea fog!.. What is he looking for in a distant land? What did he leave in his native land?... Waves play - the wind whistles, And the mast bends and creaks… Alas! he is not looking for happiness And not from happiness is fleeing! Beneath it a jet of lighter blue, Above it is a Golden sunbeam… And he, the rebel, asks for a storm, As if there is peace in the storms!
