Comment: King Krule’s debut album may be major, people are talking about the new Franz Ferdinand and I actually like that album a lot, but Krule sounds like a modern day variant on the Billy Bragg that brought us Life’s A Riot With Spy Vs Spy. Avril? The second song off the upcoming album I’ve enjoyed. Big Sean is probably not going to end up a great album, but maybe an OK one, and Jim Jones is gonna be a very, very good one.
