A Pile Of Bones Mixed With Violent Tones

Mount Kimbie featuring King Krule “You Took Your Time”

I love the way this track seems to just keep moving, as if the words just won’t stop tumbling out of King Krule’s mouth, and the Mount Kimbie guys have to just keep up with him until he runs out of things to say. King Krule’s performance is in some ambiguous space between rapping, toasting, and crooning, but it’s a perfect vehicle for the simple sound of his voice. The song could be twice as long and I’d be thrilled, I just like hearing the way he chews on words. The arrangement is excellent too, matching the twists and turns of the vocals with instrumental ideas that come around each bend – shifts in percussion style, a touch of droning melodica, simple guitar lines that smooth out the contour of the groove.
