KING KRULE (UK)Judging from his first, self-titled EP, King Krule might end up as the voice of his generation. And the skinny, redheaded teenager does not paint a bright picture of England for generation 1994. With an age-corroded baritone at the centre, he mumble-sings quiveringly raw songs about hopelessness, sounding as if they were written by the most notorious pessimist and heavy smoker at your local pub. King Krule serves up the gloomy forecasts in a melodic blend of blues, jazz and reverb-wrapped pop. Previous projects from the East London troubadour also indicate a familiarity with dubstep and hip hop – however, all this is just the first outline drawn by a despondent, great talent.
