“Here’s solid proof of the first ever live album recorded on lunar soil.”
Following appearances at Beach Goth in 2016 and Barcelona’s Primavera Sound in 2017, elusive South London based musician Archy Marshall reemerged from relative obscurity in the final months of last year to release his second album as King Krule entitled The Ooz. The four year wait between releases proved to be difficult for some fans to digest but crucial for Marshall’s artistic integrity as he returned with a body of work that was dense, uncompromising and once again pulling at the threads of a host of disparate genres.
A slew of international tour dates followed along with television appearances on Later… with Jools Holland and Conan O’Brien’s eponymously named show that saw Archy’s live band expand to include fellow South London resident Rago Foot on electronics and Ignacio Salvadores on saxophone.
Now Marshall returns accompanied by his bandmates and decked out in a space suit to perform cuts from his recent album “on the moon” in a Molten Jets shot visual. The setlist comprises of eight tracks, including ‘Dum Surfer’, ‘The Locomotive’ and ‘The Cadet Leaps’.
