King Krule debuts “Half Man Half Shark” video

King Krule debuts video for “Half Man Half Shark”.
King Krule

With the upcoming release of his full-length album The OOZ, arriving later on this month, Archy Marshall, aka King Krule has shared another taste off the LP. Today he has dropped the single and video for “Half Man Half Shark”. The track digs even deeper into the gritty, decaying blues of previous single “Dum Surfer”, delivering an unsettling, surreal fever dream in which Marshall charts a terrifying journey of mental disintegration, where “simplest soft thoughts become menacing/ twisted raw adrenaline/ racing through my bones, racing through my body”, ending with the pleading refrain ‘brother, brother/ I’ve only got two fighting hands”. It’s one turbulent, emotionally. “The OOZ” is the second release from King Krule, following on from 2013’s 6 Feet Beneath the Moon. King Krule kicks off his world tour on October 21st at The Black Cat in Washington, DC, running through December 15th in Glasgow, Scotland.
