INDIE ONLY TRANSPARENT VINYL
Written from 2020 to 2022, between London and Liverpool, Space Heavy
took shape over the course of commutes between the two cities where
Archy Marshall was splitting his time. Befitting an album quite
literally written on the commute between the two places he called home,
Archy found himself fascinated by the notion of “the space between” -
the space haunted by dreams of love, touching a narrative of lost
connection, losing people and situations to the guillotine of the
universe.
The result is a 15-track full-length by the musical polymath that
inhabits the deepest reaches of the subterranean sonic world that Archy
has constructed over the course of his career as King Krule. In it you
hear a generational artist stepping into the height of their artistic
powers – the auteurism apparent on his debut 6 Feet Beneath The Moon,
the shapeshifting sonic palette of The OOZ, the primality of Man Alive!
and the raw vulnerability expressed on You Heat Me Up, You Cool Me Down
all coalesce into a wizened, dynamic body of work that reveals new
elements with each listen. In line with Archy’s interest in the space
between, it is an album wherein the negative space demands the same
attention as the positive space. If one is willing to wade into the mire
the reward is rich.
