Mount Kimbie have teamed up with their longtime collaborator King Krule on their latest single ‘Empty And Silent’.
The six-minute track is the latest offering from the group – comprised of Lynchpin duo Dominic Maker and Kai Campos alongside Andrea Balency-Béarn and Marc Pell – forthcoming LP ‘The Sunset Violent’. ‘Empty And Silent’ follows the previously released single ‘Fishbrain’.
‘Empty And Silent’ sees King Krule – real name Archy Marshall – sing over a bright, picturesque beat featuring a pulsing bass line, clean guitar riff and crisp drumming. Directed by Gregory Prestön, the track’s accompanying visualiser features clips of the sky, highways, flowers and tiles.
Mount Kimbie and King Krule have previously worked together on the group’s tracks ‘You Took Your Time’ and ‘Meter, Pale, Tone’ from their 2013 LP ‘Cold Spring Fault Less Youth’. Krule also featured on the song ‘Blue Train Lines’ from their 2017 album ‘Love What Survives’ and the single ‘Turtle Neck Man’.
Krule will also appear on the track ‘Boxing’, which was previously release for only 24 hours but has now landed a spot on ‘The Sunset Violent’.
Set for release on April 5 via Warp, ‘The Sunset Violent’ picks up where their last LP (‘Love What Survives’) left off. The album was written in California’s Yucca Valley, a scant Western town with a history of alleged UFO sightings before being finished in London. You can pre-order / pre-save the album here.

1. ‘The Trail’
2. ‘Dumb Guitar’
3. ‘Shipwreck’
4. ‘Boxing’ (Feat. King Krule)
5. ‘Got Me’
