Definitely on the darker side, a sickly and zombie looking Marshall and band mates perform in a venue in front of a handful people of people, mostly elder, and a stricken looking young adult.

The song is taken from King Krule's forthcoming album 'The OOZ', out October 13th on XL Recordings/True Panther Sounds.

A fierce and fiery lashing of garage rock, punk, psychedelic and surf at its finest, the 14-song release finds the band not only drawing a distinct energy from their previous experiences in hardcore and metal, but also tapping into a classic 50s era of rock & roll that is timeless. Heavily reverb-soaked instrumentation mixed with echoing vocals are staples throughout the record, definitely creating a nostalgic feel.
