In his new single, King Krule continues on his tradition of punky and dark jazz fusion. His unique voice here takes on a more relaxed, contemplative tone, similar to the second half of “The OOZ”. True to King Krule’s form, the central theme of the single is being alone. Through all the darkness, though, there’s a touch of hope that shines through.
The sound profile of the two songs on the single sound like they would fit on “The OOZ”, yet “Alone, Omen 3” in particular uses samples, something that Krule does not use often. The track opens with a phone ringing that is never picked up, particularly fitting for the first line of the verse it precedes: “Take a dip, if you’re alone, take your time”. Krule seems to believe in patient contemplation and self-discovery.
The hope interspersed in the track sits in the bridge and the outro:
“But don’t forget you’re not alone; Sometimes you’re stretched … Every minute, every second, you’re not alone, you’re not alone…” Krule may be talking to his partner here, who he had his first child with in 2019. Throughout the track, the lens shifts from the royal “you” to specific references to his girl, indicative of the fact that they’re present for each other and that neither of them are alone.

Tame Impala has recently come out with their newest album, “The Slow Rush”. One track in particular, “Tomorrow’s Dust”, is an excellent representation of the sound of the album and the direction in which Tame’s sound is going.
Lead by ethereal synthesizers, sublime guitar leads, and a powerful dance beat, the song prepares the listener for Tame’s sweet-yet-sad lyrics. The ideas present in the track are dense, as the verse extends to give time for contemplation on being alone and connecting to others.
In fact, a central theme in the track (and the entire album) is time. The second verse is short and to the point on this front: “There’s no use trying to relate to that older soul; And no use biding your time if the bell is tolled”. What exactly the bell is tolling for is not clear, but perhaps it’s meant to be that way. Maybe the isolationist yet newly-wed Kevin Parker has gained a new perspective on biding his time.

Snippets: Gus Dapperton
Sporting broad-rim glasses and an ever-changing color scheme, Gus Dapperton forgoes convention to bring his audience a truly unique sound. Implicit in his music is the understanding that we all can sometimes struggle to “fit in” and that it’s ok to travel your own path.
Gus’ own path began completely self-produced. He released two EPs on his own (Yellow and Such and You Think You’re A Comic!) that both carry a bedroom-pop yet danceable feel. Gus seems to feel as though the feeling is the most important thing, as he’s gone on record to say that there is no specific interpretation of his lyrics. He works in metaphor and abstraction and states that each track he’s created is like a sounding board, where individuals can project their own meaning.
Check out these tracks:
Ditch (single)
I’m Just Snacking (Yellow and Such)
Miss Glum & The Pursuit of Falling (Yellow and Such)
Prune, You Talk Funny (You Think You’re A Comic!)
I Have Lost My Pearls (You Think You’re A Comic!)
World Class Cinema (Where Polly People Go to Read)
