King-Krule - 6 Feet Beneath The Moon
It’s A Welcome Change Of Pace When ”A Lizard State” Picks Up The Tempo In Krule’s Debut ”6 Feet Beneath The Moon”. Backed By Horns Marshall Adopts A Rat Pack Swagger And Ramps Up Their Self-Confidence As He Pleads With A Lover To Do What He Tells Her To. He Conjures Something Of Menace When He Threatens “Girl I’ll Tear You Apart/From The Inside To The Out”. Krule Gives The Air Of Someone Who’s Just Begun To Fall Out Of Love And In Turn Begins To Resent Them. What He Once So Desperately Desired Is Now A Low Priority As He’s "certain” That “one Day I’m Gonna Have You But For Now I Don’t Care”. NOTE TO LISTENER Perspectives Change Throughout.
“And It Is About Reptiles”'. - Zoo Kid During An Interview On An Italian Radio Show Archy Said "“A Lizard State” That Was Mad. That Was Like Kind To Do With The Girl That I Got From “Baby Blue.” I Woke One Morning And I Wrote The Whole Song In Like The Period Of An Hour ‘cause I Had This Burning Pain In My Mind And I Wanted To Throw It Out. I Woke Up I Took My Guitar And I Wrote It. I Put Together Some Chords That I Was On My Mind From Like A Year. It Was Highly Influenced By James Chance And The Contortions The New York No Wave Scene In The Late 1970s/early 1980s And It Was Also Influenced By Pain And Straight Anger That I Wanted To Get Shit Out." During An Interview With Gilles Peterson Archy Said "It Was Written One Morning I Just Woke Up And My Teeth Were Clenching And I Was Angry I Don’t Know Why Well I Do Know Why It Was Because Of A Girl. So I Started Writing The Song And The Song Goes Through Three Different Perspectives Of Me On One Side Of The Girl The Girl And Then The Boy On The Other Side Of The Girl." Archy Told Pigeons & Planes "There Are Like Four Different Perspectives On That Song. I’m A Woman In It I’m A Dude It’s Basically Between Me Another Guy And One Woman."
