King Krule Announces New Album Man Alive! for February 2020 Release and Shares New Video for “(Don’t Let The Dragon) Draag On”

British rapper, songwriter and producer Archy Ivan Marshall, aka King Krule, has announced his new album Man Alive! and has released an accompanying video for his new song, “(Don’t Let The Dragon) Draag On.” The album is set to release on February 21st of this year.

The video showcases Krule’s nuanced ability to disturbingly yet subtly rap over his self produced beats, which share the same unique approach as his rapping. The video, which Krule directed himself, is a black and white, continuous shot of Krule rapping, slowly revealing him upon a burning wooden stake, exposing the fearful truth the song plays to reveal.

King Krule’s most recent project, The OOZ, was released back in 2017; the album appealed to international artists, and propelled Krule onto the forefront of alternative rap.

Drew Feinerman: I have just completed my senior at the University of Michigan majoring in international studies with an emphasis in political economics and development, with a minor in Chinese language and culture, and I have recently been accepted into the Berklee School of Music's masters of music business program. Although my academic interests include economics, political science, and history, I consider music to be my one true passion. Music is, and has always been, a driving force for the way I think and act every day of my life. I have been playing the tenor saxophone since the age of ten, and playing an instrument at a high level has allowed me to only further my understanding and appreciation for music. While I grew up listening to predominantly classic rock, I soon found myself gravitating toward jazz, hip-hop, funk, and other genres, as my learned to both play and analyze music as a listener. As a writer, I am able to apply my skills both as a musician and a listener, and look forward to the opportunity to being able to express my thoughts on various stories in the music industry.
