The singer, songwriter, guitarist, and keyboardist raised eyebrows with the 2010 single "Out Getting Ribs," released under the alias Zoo Kid, which showcased his distinctively raw voice. Anticipation for Marshall's first album grew as the song earned him a spot on various high-profile "artists to watch" lists, as well as a nomination in BBC's Sound of 2013 poll.
In 2013, while still a teenager, Marshall released the first King Krule album, 6 Feet Beneath the Moon, on XL in the U.K. and True Panther in the U.S. Marshall then collaborated with his brother Jack for the relatively fluid, more electronic A New Place 2 Drown. Released in 2015 and credited to Archy Marshall, its physical edition was packaged with a 208-page book of poetry, photography, and art. King Krule fully reactivated in 2017 with a handful of varied singles -- the dreamlike ballad "Czech One," the mid-tempo rocker "Dum Surfer," and the rumbling "Half Man Half Shark," all featuring saxophone from Ignacio Salvadores -- that led up to The Ooz, an hour-long follow-up written during a three-year period.

King Krule Lyrics
What if it′s truthful? Well then that's nothing
What if it′s harmless? Well then that's nothing
What if it's nothing? Well then that′s something
I think I′m onto something that I can't find
I can′t find peace in this
You won't give mind a rest
I don′t think. I don't mind
Suck me down, down deeper
Break me down, down deeper
Search for more, keep trying
All around, keep trying
Now I′m lost
On my own I could save you
All I hope is that I keep you
Is that I keep you
Thought you were flying when you were falling
I just see you crying, but I'm better rejoicing
I can't live lives like these
You won′t win games like these
Leaving me (my body)
Fly away
On my own I could save you
All I hope is that I keep you
Is that I keep you
Is that I keep you
Where am I at?
I won′t fake it.
Just an act. I can't fake it.
All a fake, I′m not here.
What a shame, I'm not real.
Pointed out; not really;
Masquerade
Where am I at?
I won′t fake it.
Just an act. I can't fake it.
All a fake, I′m not here.
What a shame, I'm not real.
Pointed out; not really;
Masquerade
On my own I could save you
All I hope is that I keep you
