Archy Marshall (born 24 August 1994), more commonly known by his stage name King Krule, is a British singer, songwriter and musician. Marshall studied at Forest Hill School and then at the Brit School for three years between 2008 and 2011. In July 2011, Archy began playing under a new moniker, King Krule, at a festival in Hyères, France. It was inspired by the character 'King K. Rool' in Donkey Kong Country.[1]
Previously, under his Zoo Kid moniker, he released his debut single Out Getting Ribs on House Anxiety records in April 2010, recorded and mixed in his bedroom with his friends Francis North and Thelonious McCabe.
On November 8, 2011, under his King Krule alias, he released a self-titled EP on True Panther Sounds.
His music has been likened to Morrissey and Edwyn Collins.[2] Stylistically he has been described as darkwave and is inspired by disparate influences such as Gene Vincent, Fela Kuti and The Penguin Cafe Orchestra.[3] Archy also makes music under the moniker DJ JD Sports and Edgar The Beatmaker, the styles of which are significantly different than King Krule.
On 9 December 2012, the BBC announced that he had been nominated for the Sound of 2013 poll.[4]
King Krule is set to release his debut album 6 Feet Beneath the Moon on 24 August 2013.
