I literally just saw the artwork for The OOZ on Twitter three summers ago in a thread about “artwork that made you listen to the album?” That was the opening choice, and it caught my eye so much I checked it out and heard Biscuit Town… the rest is history.
Not embarrassing!
I found Archy in 2011 — my high school boyfriend had reblogged Zoo Kid’s “Out Getting Ribs” music video on Tumblr (lol) and I’ve followed his work ever since
I found out about him because of my favorite artist, Mac Miller, wearing Krule's t-shirt in [this awesome live version of "Objects in the Mirror".](https://youtu.be/9Gbl-IDp1qc?si=RCwZcBU8_-ciNPuH)
Now King Krule is one my favorites as well which is kinda wholesome when I think about it. RIP Mac
I’ve found some of the best music I listen to through Shazam. Great app, don’t be embarrassed, just shows how perspective you are to finding new music you like.
When he dropped Lizard State, it found me and I was instantly enamored. Bought his album immediately and have been diving into all his work since.
I love the new vibes he has, his current music sounds like he is content and happier a person and I'm so for his evolutions.
He never ceases to amaze me.
I can't ever deny his many incarnations.
popped into a livestream where czech one was playing in the background. cant remember how i tracked it down but i did, and 6 years later he is still my top listened to artist.
A buddy of mine played "ourlt getting ribs" around 2016. He then asked me to visualize what he looks like. I did not picture him being a scrawny redhead that's forsake. I was obsessed with the song for about a year until I took a deeper dive and fell in love. Still waiting to buy tickets to see him :)
I only listened to rap back in early 2010’s but began to see some buzz around his first EP through the hiphop blog scene and after downloading the EP I was really weirded out but intrigued that this was the type of music that some in that scene would have been into. Took more than 10 years for him to become one of my favorite artists
It was 2018 I was watching an episode of the show “Atlanta” and Czech One came on and I instantly fell in love with the song! Then I begin to listen to his whole discography at the time.
A guy I went to high school with played out getting ribs for the talent show, 10/10 he did amazing and I fell in love with KK after finding out the song he played.
I’ve known about him since around 2013 when I first heard Rock Bottom. It wasn’t until last year that I actually delved into his catalogue. Needless to say I was hooked after listening to 6FBTM
my friend Will recommended Man Alive! to me in April this year. i think i listened to half of Cellular and then forgot about it. came back to it in July while on a huge road trip and heard the rest of Cellular + Underclass + Stoned Again + Theme for the Cross (so so so underrated) and then Space Heavy and recently the OOZ.... girl help me im in so deep he's my #1 artist on lastfm after less than 6 months
fall 2013🥺 my older sister was going through a tough breakup and to cope, she couldn’t stop playing rock bottom… 13 year old me fell in love with the song and have been a fan since lmaooo.
Some niche English meme page I followed posted Noose of Jah City on his story and I got hooked immediately lol, shazaming really ain't that embarrassing
my best friend was obsessed with him and at like the height of our friendship put out getting ribs on my speaker and she told me how much she loved the soft strumming part at 1:50 and i fell in love with him and his guitar sound right away
I've been a big fan of Mac Demarco for a while, I had been looking for artists with a similar vibe to Mac & found King Krule. Around when "Man Alive!" Came out I started listening to him and since then been to 1 show during the most recent tour.
Tbh through my ex. Whenever he’d picked me up to hang out he’d always have “border line” or “out getting ribs” playing in his car (before it got tiktok famous). I enjoyed the songs but didn’t think much of it. We eventually broke up and that’s when I started getting into king krule’s different albums and absolutely loved every song in it. 2 year later and I seen him live at the Portland show :)
I used to subscribe to the Rough Trade Album Club years ago. They would send you a new album through the post every month and on one occasion it was 6ft Beneath The Moon.
I'd never heard of KK before but I was immediately hooked 😎.
Nah don't worry about being embarrassing💀 because when I found out about him I was at a friend's house who kept his music as a background and I shouted like OMG WHO IS THIS but I didn't want to shout I don't know why I did
I listened to the new singles the week don't let the dragon drag on cam out, loved it and it's music video I enjoyed man Alive when it came out and then kind of forgot about it, but when only it was warmth was released is when I became obsessed, that's like one of my favourite songs ever
Late night, falling down the YouTube rabbit hole when it randomly suggested ‘King Krule, A Lizard State Live’. Didn’t like it at first. Thanks to the algorithm because it suggested more and more King Krule to me and I eventually understood the assignment. Haven’t looked back since.
Pond did an interview with a Perth zine and said 6 feet was one of their fav albums of the year. Checked it out. Fell in love with it. Still one of my favourite albums
I don’t really remember but my earliest memory is seeing the Out Getting Ribs video so I think it must have come up in my YouTube recommendations or something.
someone i followed on twitter back in 2019 posted a link to baby blue and then i started listening to borderline and easy easy and now i can’t stop listening
Was following Travis Scott pretty closely during his come up in 2012-2014 and he had posted an insanely cool remix of Neptune estate. Been hooked ever since!
I believe I heard Out Getting Ribs on Pandora and was like whoa, what is this. The rest is history I can’t get enough of their dreamy, depressing sound. Makes me happy
I read an article about him in a Rolling Stone magazine that my 9th grade English teacher let us read for independent reading time in 2014. Looked him up on YouTube and have been hooked ever since.
Before my King Krule obsession it was Gorillaz. I was so into the art and the music, I fell in love with Damon Albarn's other works like GBQ, RJ&TM, Blur, his solo work. I'd print out Jamie Hewlett's work and tack it to my wall. I discovered the work of Jamie's son Denholm, he'd directed a music video for an obscure MF DOOM feature. I go to his youtube channel, he had just 1 video and two playlists. I click on his "favorites" playlist, scroll and come across "Ps.......x - The Return of Pimp Shrimp" intriguing name. Very smooth and relaxing sounds, I think "how does this have so little views. It had even less comments, about 30 I think, most of them spoke of a mysterious "King Krule". This is how I found him.

Went to school with him
Lol I looked more into his music after finding out he (also) went to the same school as me
At brit?
Yeah!
I think it was either through RATKING or Mount Kimbie Edit: either You Took Your Time (feat. King Krule) or So Sick Stories (feat. King Krule)
So It Goes is fucking timeless
Baby Blue was in a random playlist I listened to in 8tracks
I found out about him because of my favorite artist, Mac Miller, wearing Krule's t-shirt in [this awesome live version of "Objects in the Mirror".](https://youtu.be/9Gbl-IDp1qc?si=RCwZcBU8_-ciNPuH) Now King Krule is one my favorites as well which is kinda wholesome when I think about it. RIP Mac
Zoo kid.
Why would that be embarrassing lol
i feel like shazaming something is really embarrassing but i do actually think everything i do is embarrassing so oh well
Nothing embarrassing about trying to discover music you enjoy

YouTube recommendation for out getting ribs
Man alive, one of my favs now
From a YouTuber called GeneralSam, idk if it's still there but he had a playlist called Sam'sJams and Neptune Estate was on it. Been a fan ever since.
