Archy Marshall is back out there doing King Krule shows this year, and he’s selling new music at the gigs. Tour-only flexi discs featuring new King Krule tracks “it’s all soup now” and “Flimsier” are making their way into the world, which inevitably means they’ve ended up online. The former song could almost pass for […]

Many of us presumed the “XXXX” teaser suggested a new album commemorating his […]
Eurythmics’ Dave Stewart Joins Daughter Kaya For American Idol Audition
