<p class="faq-quote">“Like any great artist on the rise, Archy Marshall’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 mind-blowing 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.” - Matador Records</p> <p>Third official full-length from <a href="https://www.turntablelab.com/search?type=product&q=Archy+Marshall" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Archy Marshall</strong></a> under his <a href="https://www.turntablelab.com/search?type=product&q=King+Krule" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>King Krule</strong></a> alias, inside the tin there’s bits of the stoned FL Studio beats found on <em>A New Place 2 Drown</em>, the zooted dream sequences from <a href="https://www.turntablelab.com/products/king-krule-the-ooz-vinyl-2lp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>The Ooz</em></a> and pared-down post-punk numbers from <a href="https://www.turntablelab.com/search?type=product&q=KING+KRULE+6+Feet+Beneath+The+Moon" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>6 Feet</em></a>. This one’s… not quite grown & sexy but... more dialed in, still brimming with the wide-eyed (but extremely cool) enthusiasm of a 14 year old mucking about with his mates making beats. It’s like Archy can see the bigger picture in his old age (25), arranging sounds in ways the 16 year old <a href="https://www.turntablelab.com/search?type=product&q=Zoo+Kid" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Zoo Kid</strong></a> couldn’t possibly imagine, and while <em>The Ooz</em> was maybe a little overcrowded, here he knows just when he’s worn out his welcome and fucks off, leaving us wanting more (in a good way). Check out “Supermarché,” “Draag On,” “Underclass,” toughguy hardcore anthem “Stoned Again” and “Perfecto Miserable."</p> <ul> <li>black vinyl pressing</li> <li>full color printed insert + inner sleeve</li> <li>music label: Matador Records 2020</li> </ul>
