The Ooz
King Krule
He has recorded as Zoo Kid, as King Krule, and under his own name, Archy Marshall, and with The OOZ, the London producer has made his richest and most immersive album yet. As one fan put it: “The OOZ drops at our feet like a piece of poisoned fruit, a masterpiece of jaundiced vision from one of the most compelling artists alive.”

Colors
Beck
Colors is the 13th overall studio album by Beck, recorded between 2013 and 2017. Speaking to music publication NME, he described the recording process saying “for the first year, we were experimenting and there was a lot of trial and error. I was touring constantly while making it, so I was attempting to bring some of that energy back to the studio, which isn’t always the easiest thing to do. ‘Dreams’ was one of the early songs to come along and make me think the idea had legs.”
As his first upbeat album in nearly a decade, Colors has ‘legs’ and his longstanding fan base in a state of joyful rapture.
