It’s been a good minute since the ineffably cool Archy Marshall, aka King Krule, has graced our ears with the slouched blues and yawning baritone vocals that captured South London life. However the singer-songwriter has been hard at work on a new project, first teased last week as per Instagram a week ago.

Now more details of the project have emerged. Released under Krule’s real name Archy Marshall, along side his brother Jack Marshall, A New Place 2 Drown is a 208 page book accompanied by a soundtrack of 12 songs and a short 10 minute documentary. The multimedia project will chart the brothers lives and creative process through the mediums of visual art, music and words.

The press release states: “A New Place 2 Drown’ is a multi-disciplinary volume of work from brothers Jack and Archy Marshall, comprising a book, album and short film.”

“The book of poetry and artwork, published by TOPSAFE, invites readers into the brothers’ social/everyday lives in South London.”

“Also to be experienced in conjunction with the book is a 37-minute soundtrack of brand new music from Archy. The entire project is then tied together by a short film by Will Robson-Scott, which incorporates elements of both the book and the soundtrack.”

The Project is slated for a release on 10th December. Until then you can check out the project’s website and watch a trailer for A New Place 2 Drown below:
