Listen: King Krule Has a Hip-Hop Project Under the Name Edgar the Beatmaker

[DudeAsInCool]

Archie Marshall, the red-headed London teenager who's made music as both Zoo Kid and King Krule, has another new project by another new name. As Abeano points out, he's making hip hop-oriented music under the name Edgar the Beatmaker. (Marshall once cited Gang Starr as influence and said he sees himself "more as an MC than a vocalist"). There's a scrappy little collection of songs uploaded to a Bandcamp page (and it sounds like there are multiple vocalists).

Watch King Krule perform "Portrait in Black and Blue" at last year's Pitchfork Music Festival:
