This Week On Abeano: King Krule, Banks, Fatima Al Qadiri, Visionist, Silkie, Lil Ugly Mane & more Posted: 09 Aug 2013 09:09 AM PDT This has been good week for slightly serious faced music. From Fatima Al Qadiri and Visionist’s brooding collaboration to King Krule’s always-impassioned Easy Easy, with vizualz, it’s time to put the bubble wand and the novelty hula skirt down and get down to some serious thinking about this here music. Here’s all of the good bits: South London croon-graveller and exciting sentience King Krule released the visuals for his monumentally catchy Easy Easy, which sees him jumping train tracks and swinging a cricket bat around dressed in an oversized suit. Banks is a singer from LA who’s slowly been releasing tunes of increasing quality over the space of a few months. Her latest, Waiting Game, is produced by similarly rising SOHN, and is an epic little gem. NYC dweller Fatima Al Qadiri and Brixtonite Visionist have likely drawn a few comparisons, both working in the darker side of electronic music, so their match is a fine one. The Call incorporates both of their trademarks perfectly. Dubstep donny Silkie has a bundle of unreleased material on the horizon, The Lost Tapes Vol. 1 out this month, and on it is Preacher’s Pain, a jazzy and warm bass-bug to wiggle around in your brain.

There’s some really special stuff in here, so make sure you give it a proper listen. And lastly, Willis Earl Beal gives a powerful reply to Lana Del Rey’s Black Beauty.

Burgundy, which is produced by Pharrell, has a dirty chandelier of a beat, and Earl’s new, deeper flow/ delivery remains:

Bok Bok & Kelela – Grime Vocals Posted: 09 Aug 2013 03:37 AM PDT Creepy grime man Bok Bok (we mean his grime is creepy not him) and fire-throated LA vocalist Kelela, who releases on Fade To Mind, the transatlantic sister label to Bok’s Night Slugs, teamed up for this live mix of grime, garage and other beats, with the Bank Head singers original vocals on top. It works really well, and we suspect this weird amalgam is something she’ll forge a name from:
