KING KRULE Releases new album Man Alive! Playing Splendour In The Grass 2020 Shares video for 'Cellular'

KING KRULE Releases new album Man Alive! Playing Splendour In The Grass 2020 Shares video for ‘Cellular’

by the partae
written by the partae
PRAISE FOR MAN ALIVE!

“Equal parts beautiful and haunting. It’s these nuances that encapsulate King Krule and make Man Alive! Marshall’s most compelling record to date.” – STACK

“Man Alive!, dials up the cynicism and expands the space around his musings so he can speak more directly about his bleak experiences while tempering them with loping but pretty melodies.” – The Music, ★★★★

“Marshall’s creativity is shining for all the world to see.” – NME, ★★★★

“His most anguished album yet” – Pitchfork, 7.7

RTR Feature Album
Edge Radio Feature Album

King Krule today releases his new album Man Alive! out via XL Recordings / Remote Control Records. See him perform in Australia as a part of Splendour In The Grass this July.

With an animated video created by Jamie Wolfe, who previously collaborated with Archy on a short video for ‘Vidual’, Jamie has also created animations for Gucci and the TV show Rick & Morty.

Purchase / Stream Man Alive!: https://kingkrule.ffm.to/manalive

Archy Ivan Marshall has the world at his feet. After two feverishly received albums as King Krule, plus another low-key outing under his own name, this extraordinarily gifted 25-year-old from Peckham in South London adds further depth and substance to his oeuvre with another wondrous long-player called Man Alive!. It arrives packed full of his trademark sonic ambition and compositional skill, as well as the now-familiar corrosive lyricism and lurid social observation. Marshall has emerged as a pack leader amongst his peers, leading the charge in a fearless blurring of genre divisions, one minute seeming to drag the listener through the trashiest punk experience, the next ushering in a soundworld that’s apparently hi-tech and forward-looking.

Like any great artist on the rise, Archy’s life is moving fast. There’s a lot to catch up on, after 2017’s sprawling masterpiece, The Ooz, broke through amid Mercury Prize nominations and minds-blown media plaudits. Unlike that record, Man Alive! doesn’t aim to present any kind of narrative thread, or Brexit-era state-of-the-nation address, just a collection of snapshots and stories, artfully sequenced into a dazzlingly coherent whole.

This third King Krule album was written as a direct reaction to the non-stop energy of touring The Ooz, and then partly recorded at Shrunken Heads in Marshall’s native stamping ground of Nunhead, with ‘Ooz’ co-producer Dilip Harris. Midway through those sessions, however, Archy found out he was going to become a dad for the first time, and he decided to move up to the North West to be near the mother’s family, ready for the baby’s arrival.

“I should’ve had it all wrapped up before my daughter was born,” says Marshall today with a sheepish grin. Impending parenthood came at a felicitous moment for him, as he was beginning to feel trapped in South London’s suburban lifestyle of all-eclipsing drunkenness and depression, which existing fans will know was a recurring theme in his earlier music.

“It was just the easiness of it,” he reflects today. “There really is nothing else to do here, especially when it turns to winter. Everyone I know has jobs, whereas I’d sit on my arse all day sometimes not doing anything, then I’d go to the pub with them when they finished work. It became a bit habitual. Then, right in the middle of the record, this big change came in my life that I didn’t really comprehend initially. It was like, ‘Oh, I’d better get my shit together!’ To be honest, I was really glad to get away from all that so I could focus on more pressing matters – like keeping a child alive and stuff.”

The new album’s title, he explains, “is an exclamation, about the times we live in. Like, ‘Fucking hell, man!’” He stole the title from a CD that his uncle gave him back in 2013 with some of his uncle’s own music on it, and originally planned to use it for his last album.

“More and more,” he explains, “I’ve been put off by the intention of speaking about what’s going on in society as a black-and-white thing, or trying to get to the bottom of why we’re in this position. So the album is mostly made up of snapshots and observations. There are a lot of real-time-and-place moments, songs talking about walking through the park just over there and getting a head injury [don’t ask! – Ed.], then there are other tracks which are just simplicity, looking at one particular situation and reflecting on it as somehow being super-profound.”

Just as the lyrics are diverse in theme and purpose, so is the music: ‘Comet Face’ lopes along with irresistible unease like a wonky New Wave hit, and ‘Stoned Again’ packs all the inspired beatmongery of ’90s hip hop, while much of the record’s sparser second half recalls the lo-fi intimacy of Robert Wyatt’s ’80s solo work, or indeed the recordings of mass-murderer Charles Manson.

As the concluding ‘Please Complete Thee’ sails out on upliftingly twangsome slide guitar, you’d be forgiven for imagining that some of the more agonizing preceding numbers have served as a kind of therapy for their creator. “Oh yeah,” he freely admits, “once you’re able to discuss things and talk honestly, there is no better way than just shouting it out at a bunch of people. I was always empowered by lyricism and getting my aggression out in some way, or any kind of emotion. That has always been a process for me. This time I felt like I had gotten out of a dark place, and I was on a high. I appreciated the depression, and the low times I’d been through, but I also liked how I felt better in the here and now. So it was about reaching that new plateau.”

Romania’s acclaimed UNTOLD festival is back with a bang with its first line-up announcement for its 2020 event, taking place in the Cluj Arena and surrounding Central Park in Cluj-Napoca from 30 July - 2 August. The 9 stage-festival is one of Europe’s most incredible gatherings of electronic music and celebrates its 6th run this summer.  Dance titans Martin Garrix and David Guetta lead the charge with two showstopping DJ sets. The duo have collaborated previously on formidable tracks such as ‘Like I Do’ and ‘So Far Away’. Their return to UNTOLD shows again how this festival keeps on attracting the best talent to come back time and time again.    Big room fans will be pumped for Afrojack, Alesso and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike known for their endless energy. Eric Prydz brings his super-classy euphoric sounds and Steve Aoki and DJ Snake bring the crazy.    Meanwhile the live pop act big hitters begin with the announcement of three sensational names who will perform on the mainstage. One of the most legendary girl groups ever will make their UNTOLD debut, The Pussycat Dolls will definitely be one of the highlights on the 2020 line-up. Also set to debut in Cluj-Napoca is the formidable rapper Iggy Azalea, known for chart-topping tracks such as ‘Fancy’ and ‘Black Widow’. The ever popular Irish band The Script will treat their fans on a show they will never forget, bringing their slew of Platinum-selling hits with them.   The underground is heavily represented on this first announcement too. Trance fans will be pleased to hear of the inclusion of Above & Beyond. The new school of Belgian techno is represented by the fierce sounds of Charlotte de Witte and Amelie Lens. Paul Kalkbrenner, Richie Hawtin and Tale Of Us showing why they’re at the top of their game. There’s plenty for bass-fiends too, with Dub FX bringing those heavy, frenetic low-end vibes and Wilkinson bringing his euphoric drum & bass sounds.    Over 375,000 people attended last year’s UNTOLD,  and the festival has already sold an incredible 30,000 tickets without announcing a single name.

Once that opening has set a high standard for the season ahead, the weekly parties will keep the vibes alive all summer long.

The most iconic club in all of the world today says #WelcomeHome as it unveils a suitably awe-inspiring opening party that on May 9th with Jamie Jones, The Black Madonna, Adam Beyer, Anna, Marco Faraone, Michael Bibi, Cuartero Mar-T B2B CAAL, Sidney Charles B2B Seb Zito, Luca Donzelli, Les Schmitz, John Woods and Carolina Fe opening what is set to be a spectacular summer season in 2020.

Amnesia is truly home for electronic music lovers from all over the world, for people who come together and celebrate the best DJs and live acts in the game. This huge opening is an annual time for great celebration and always offers production thought through to the last detail, incredible lighting effects and the most advanced sound system in the world on the famous Terrace which boasts the kv2 Audio. This year it’s headlined by returning favourites, Paradise hero Jamie Jones, deep digging American selector The Black Madonna, techno mainstays Adam Beyer and Marco Faraone, Brazilian leader Anna, edgy tech champ Michael Bibi, much-loved Spanish legends Cuartero, Mar-T & CAAL go back-to-back and another special back-to-back between Sidney Charles & Seb Zito, Moon Harbour and Origins Rcds associate, Luca Donzelli, as well as Amnesia residents, Les Schmitz, John Woods and Carolina Fe.

Once that opening has set a high standard for the season ahead, the weekly parties will keep the vibes alive all summer long. First up, the now world-renowned Pyramid has made a huge splash in just a couple of years with standout names like Nina Kraviz and Ricardo Villalobos playing in the past. Each week, the iconic club is turned into an immersive adult playground with a world class soundtrack and so expect more next level experiences in 2020. This season, it runs each Sunday from June 7 – Sept 27 with a wealth of international names headlining each week.

Saturdays will be all about Elrow, undoubtedly the most colourful, spectacular and fantastically outlandish party in the world. The world famous production is beyond belief, the atmospheres are always crazy and the sound track comes from contemporary DJs who really know how to pack a dance floor. It runs weekly from May 23 – Sept 26 and will be the one and only place to be for those who like to be submerged in imaginary party worlds.

Together is back to retain its crown as one of the most eclectic and immersive nights in the White Isle on Mondays from June 1 – June 29, then from Sept 7 – Oct 5.

From Friday 28th to Monday 31st August 2020 Moovin Festival promises to be another explosion of sound and colour, a sensory overload packed with outrageously good world-class music, organic and immersive stage designs and decor, delicious food, mesmerising fire shows; a festival full of surprises and so much more. Across this whimsical weekend, Moovin Festival invites you with open arms and a big smile into a natural wonderland that comes alive with musical mischief, grown up fun, free spirited good times and a world of colourful characters, non stop laughs, performances and soul soothing wellness activities that play out like a cult movie featuring you as the lead star.  The festival this year is bigger and better than ever, while maintaining its bespoke and bijou feel the organisers keep the capacity strictly limited capacity as they feel this is a big piece of what makes this gathering so special . Moovin Festival somehow have a knack of attracting big acts to showcase in a much more personal setting than you would expect. The first headliners to be revealed are superstars from across the musical spectrum including Arrested Development, Basement Jaxx, KRS One, David Rodigan, Todd Terje, Mr Scruff, Eek A Mouse, Derrick Carter, Craig Charles, Beardyman, Plump DJs, Asian Dub Foundation and many more.  Moovin Festival is a close-knit and tasteful gathering of real music lovers that offers something different from the norm. The whole festival is loving crafted and curated with a real attention to detail that is made extra special by the free spirited vibe and fun-loving crowd who attend each year. The unique and escapist location is the eco-friendly Whitebottom farm in the stunning countryside in Compstall, not far from Manchester. The walk to the site itself is a magical experience, through Etherow Country Park, full of lush greenery, lakes and birds leading to a breathtaking natural gorge at the entrance to the festival site itself.  This natural wonderland then comes alive with pounding baselines, and eclectic musical mixes, walkabout performers and immersive performances, fire shows and hoopers, gong baths galore, workshops and yoga classes. What's more, despite the world class headliners, Moovin is all about offering personal and intimate vibes that are fully independent. The lineup is stacked with quirky bands, fresh, up and coming acts, local talents, curious distractions, mouthwatering food offerings and plenty more surprises that make for non-stop adventure and exploration across the weekend.  Amongst this years headliners are none other than world renowned dance music icons Basement Jaxx, who have been behind too many chart topping hits to mention and always bring a dazzling mix of dance sounds informed by many years at the top of their game. Hip hop lovers are in for a treat when American legends and Grammy award winers Arrested Development and New Yorks finest KRS One take to the stage bringing crisp, booming rap beats as well as conscious and empowering lyrics, while junglists will surely be happy with the combination of old school heavyweights Mickey Finn, Aphrodite, Randall and DJ SS.  Eek A Mouse, David Rodigan, Price Fatty & Horseman head up the reggae authority who will bring the finest riddims, and Mr Scruff has one of the most treasured vinyl collections in the country with everything from soul to funk, downtempo to house. Anyone who has seen Beardyman perform live will know what a spectacle it is as the beatboxer mixes up all genres with his vocal cords and gets any crowd moovin.

Capturing the essence of this ten-year history, the tour is set to take place initially across six dates at some of the most select European venues.   Not content with events alone, Toi.Toi.Musik, led by its founder Isis Salvaterra, took things even further by creating a community of artists signed to the Toi.Toi. agency and record label.

Where are you currently based and what is the music scene like there?  I'm Currently Based in Brisbane! The Music Scene here I feel is divided and nobody really works outside of their cliques. How did you first start playing music?  I started getting into it when I was 12-14 and started recording properly when I was 16 What's been happening since the release of your album last year?  Since then I've been putting in work for a Music Video that I had just released, putting in work for other artists Music Videos, I started a Band called Trashmouth and we're opening for Crazy Town (Butterfly) on the 22nd of Feb. Your new video for single 'Heard About Me' is out now, what influenced the sound and songwriting for this track?  I didn't have a direct influence, I was wanting to do a song with Say TrueGod? as our first collab together was done over 7 years ago, I heard this beat and it fit what I felt needed to be done. How did you go about writing Heard About Me?  As above, I then wrote the hook out of inspiration through hearing the beat, I then wrote a Verse to match and hit up Say TrueGod? to come into the studio to record his part. Where and when did you record/produce and who with?  This song and even my entire album was produced by Brandon James (Mixedbybrandon) at our Studio - Black Ace Studios. How did you approach the recording process?  At first I wasn't even sure how I was going to complete the song, I had started working on the video concept with the third verse empty, Freewyo I had been working with previously for his own Music Videos and we gained a friendship through that, I then realised that he was the missing puzzle to this track. How did the concept for the video come about?  I had sat down with Neil Noble and worked out this concept over a few months, trialing ideas back and fourth until we decided on this one. Where and when did you film?  We filmed this in June of 2019 and we filmed this on the Gold Coast. How did the editing process take place?  After everyone had been paid the editing process began over 1-2 months with Neil Noble with a few drafts and then I threw in my own colour grade/transitions to complete it. Is the end result as you expected it to be?  It turned out well! After a few back and fourths with the draft and then adding my own final touches. Who are you listening to at the moment?  Blessed, Anfa Rose, G-Eazy, Eminem, Joynar Lucas, Ursa 13, NF, Stormzy, The Weeknd, Post Malone, Yelawolf, Horrorshow, Mike Shinoda (From Linkin Park) and the list goes on. What do you like to do away from music?  Aside from Music I've got my hands involved with producing Music Videos or Photography for people, I enjoy that aspect of things also!

Vancouver, Canada, February 19th, 2020 – Canadian country artist Lisa Nicole is proud to share her newest single and music video “Wait on Me”, which is newly available on all digital platforms and was released to Canadian radio on February 10th. “Wait on Me” – written in Nashville by Lisa Nicole, Jason Thomas, and Dave Pahanish – is the debut single from her 2020 fall album, Where the Wild Hearts Beat, and her first collaboration with CCMA award-winning producer Jeff Johnson. Cliff Hokanson directed the accompanying music video, which was released on February 5th.  This is the first single for the Canadian singer – originally from Castlegar, British Columbia – since she moved to Nashville for the spring and summer of 2018 to add fuel to her creative fire.   Lisa Nicole says, “There are moments in life that test the balance of our commitment between professional goals and personal relationships. While there is great pressure to choose one over the other, I don’t believe it has to be that way. Your heart can want – and have – both. ‘Wait on Me’ is about making the bold choice to follow through on your dreams, but also build a future with someone you love anywhere and anytime – regardless of obstacles.”  The move to Music City connected Lisa Nicole and her longtime guitar player Thomas with Nashville hitmaker Pahanish (Keith Urban, Toby Keith). Her long-distance relationship with a Canadian partner back home proved to be the catalyst that inspired the trio to pen “Wait on Me”. The choice to uproot from the Kootenays to Nashville was greatly inspired by a transformative and serendipitous 2017 moment for Lisa Nicole – winner of the 2015 Music BC/BC Country Music Association Artist Development Project – when she visited Nashville for a songwriting trip. Encouraged to see a pop-up concert by Keith Urban, she arrived with her 2016 EP in hand, only to end up on stage by night’s end to sing an impromptu duet of “We Were Us” with the superstar.     Following her extended stay in Nashville in 2018, Lisa Nicole returned to Canada with heaps of inspiration and a wealth of new material. Since then, she has joined forces with producer Jeff Johnson (Meghan Patrick, Chris Buck Band) to record her first full-length album, Where the Wild Hearts Beat – boasting a commercial country sound with an infusion of rock and pop. “Wait on Me” is the first gift from this collaboration. The album will drop this fall. “Wait on Me” is available on all digital platforms. Lisa Nicole will support “Wait on Me” with a Canadian radio and media tour along with select shows. For tour dates and more information about Lisa Nicole, please visit  LisaNicoleMusic.com Listen to “Wait on Me” on Spotify: smarturl.it/WaitOnMeSpotify Follow Lisa Nicole on streaming and social media platforms: YouTube: @LisaNicoleMusic     Spotify: smarturl.it/LisaNicoleSpotify Facebook: @LisaNicoleMusic    Instagram: @LisaNicoleMusic   Twitter: @LisaNicoleMusic

Since then, she has joined forces with producer Jeff Johnson (Meghan Patrick, Chris Buck Band) to record her first full-length album, Where the Wild Hearts Beat – boasting a commercial country sound with an infusion of rock and pop. “Wait on Me” is the first gift from this collaboration. The album will drop this fall.

“Wait on Me” is available on all digital platforms.

Lisa Nicole will support “Wait on Me” with a Canadian radio and media tour along with select shows.

BEACH PANIC! release impressive DIY video for new single ‘Lover Boy’

by the partae
written by the partae

“Heck yeah this track is fun like bombing a hill with loose trucks”
– triple j Unearthed

“BEACH PANIC! is a project that allows the pairing to explore the heavy rhythms and fierceness of their old band but twisted into a direction that feels more approachable and colourful”
– Pilerats

Following the release of their latest infectious single, ‘Lover Boy’, Melbourne’s surf-soaked power-pop outfit BEACH PANIC! have revealed the track’s mighty impressive DIY video.

BEACH PANIC!, the colourful and contagious music outfit featuring Tom and Dan from beloved post-hardcore group Belle Haven, are an act entrenched in DIY ethos. Every piece of BEACH PANIC! content is produced solely in-house – from their recordings, press shots, film clips, album art, stage backdrops and beyond.

The new video for ‘Lover Boy’ is no exception, with the band producing the entire clip themselves.

According to BEACH PANIC!, half of the ‘Lover Boy’ video was shot and edited from their home garage / studio, with the other half shot in offsite locations.

“We pushed the limits of what can be done with a bit of imagination for the ‘Lover Boy’ clip. Shot and edited from start to finish in only a few days, half the shoot was done in our share house’s garage/studio with a DIY studio set up, comprising of some fabric off cuts, a studio light and a few clamps. 

Shooting in guerrilla style, the second half of the clip had us starring in some of our favourite outdoor settings, with some fabulous hand-painted outfits by our very own artist Tequila Sunrise.

We also used some re-purposed and painted op shop furniture that took a dip with us in the Warrandyte river. Just out of frame, we had an audience of around 100 people enjoying a nice summer day by the water. We also found time to pop into our local roller skating rink to carve it up in our fabulous matching outfits.”

A track that tugs firmly on your heartstrings, ‘Lover Boy’ is an unadulterated genre mashup that launches with ‘50s inspired doo-wop vocal stylings and explodes into a punk-rock wave rider, replete with Supergrass-esque harmonies and a splash of punchy post-hardcore guitars thanks to the band’s Belle Haven origins.

The ever-prolific musicians, BEACH PANIC! are currently working away on a new EP, slated for release in the first half of 2020. But for now, give ‘Lover Boy’ a hearty spin.

TEENAGE DADS RELEASE ADRENALINE RUSH + TOUR WITH THE MOVING STILLS KICKS OFF 1ST MARCH

written by the partae
“It’s a bit like King Gizz meets The Beach Boys” Declan Byrne – triple j Home & Hosed

A breezy, blissful bop plucked right out of the 60s, Melbourne’s Teenage Dads today release the giddy inducing ‘Adrenaline Rush’ which premiered via Home & Hosed on triple j last night.

Self-made, self managed and incredibly fun live, Teenage Dads have whipped up two EPs and a debut album full of rich, reminiscent melodies over the last two years. Their newest creates a sweet – almost hypnotic – soundscape, packed with charming vocals, honky-tonk piano and groovy basslines,

Exploring a dreamy tale of finding love, vocalist Jordan Finlay explains “Adrenaline Rush is about the head over heels feeling you might get for someone, and how it can feel like something from a dream and completely change an identity“

Teenage Dads’ kinetic energy and righteous live shows have propelled the band who recently toured nationally with Lime Cordiale and performed alongside Montaigne, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Ruby Fields and Northeast Party House. Arriving fresh from an appearance at St Kilda Festival and NYE on the Hill Teenage Dads soon join forces with The Moving Stills for a huge regional headline jaunt announced earlier this week. Tickets for ‘The Antics Roadshow’ featuring Teenage Dads and The Moving Stills are on sale now and Teenage Dads’ single ‘Adrenaline Rush‘ is out NOW.
