VIDEO: King Krule – Rock Bottom

• 16th Nov 2012

Rock Bottom, a triumphantly doomed rhythm and blues track from King Krule, now has a triumphantly doomed video to match. Conceived by Archy Marshall aka King Krule, the video was directed by two local friends from south-east London – Pariac and Michael Morrissey.

The video purveys tormenting experiences for Krule – attacked by dogs whilst getting beaten up by suited men in bowler hats and being served a bowl of motor oil by a creature with a terrifying cactus face. The inevitable disconsolate feel is impelled by the locations of the film, which are set across three areas in London including the mysterious Isle of Grain, near the Thames Esturay.

The island, with its blue sky, pebble beach and water ultimately acts as a panacea for Krule, compared to the physical and emotional suffering witnessed in the other scenes. As this song and video verifies, Archy Marshall is defiantly an artist on the up and one to watch for 2013.
