Most of the lyrics were written on train trips from London to the Northwest of England where he now lives to visit his kid. Space Heavy is King Krule's fourth album and first in three years, his first since the pandemic, and first since becoming a dad. He has an allergy to publicity, interviews are scarce, and he has kept his circle close, working with producer Dilip Harris and bandmates Jamie Isaac, George Bass and Ignacio Salvadores who seem as much mates as collaborators. Archy has also turned his marble-mouthed, heavily accented baritone, which was once a shock coming out of an 18-year-old, into one of his chief assets, and while there's always at least one banger on every record, Archy gets a lot of mileage on his unique vibe alone.

Meaning, handing off a piece and depending on others cost her a good deal of time and effort when she was first starting out. Creative controlĪrchy learned the hard way about how important creative control was to have. It’s this type of outcome that demonstrates that the work you’re putting into your creativity certainly can make a huge difference and reach a very large audience.
