King Krule is continuing to build momentum as the release date for his True Panther Sounds/XL Recordings debut, 6 Feet Beneath The Moon, rapidly approaches. His latest release, “Neptune Estate,” is a perfect addition to the darkwave aesthetic he has been crafting since before the birth of his current moniker. “I want to be with you. I want to be used,” the UK prodigy croons over the barren soundscape of a post-dubstep design. It almost sounds like the music James Blake might have made as an adolescent going through puberty. It reeks of youthful angst, in a good way. It feels like young love for the modern age.  His tonal quality is rich (as usual), and even as he bends pitches, his voice retails its sultry timbre. Listen to the emotional cut below, and pre-order 6 Feet Beneath The Moon as well.
