Meet King Krule, one of the best young musicians in England. Your jaw might drop when you hear what he can do.
This is Archy Marshall, aka King Krule. He's only 19 years old, but he's one of the best young musicians in all of England.

He looks kinda like an emaciated Ron Weasley, sure, but listen to him sing. Here he is performing his song "Portrait in Black and Blue."

It's sorta amazing to see someone so young sound so rugged and weathered, like a more thuggish version of Joe Strummer from The Clash. Here he is performing "The Noose of Jah City" at the Pitchfork festival in Chicago last summer.

His songwriting and guitar playing is ridiculously mature too, channeling elements of new wave, jazz, dub, reggae, and hip-hop. Here's the A-side of his most recent single, "Rock Bottom."
