One of my personal favorites from the album is the song 'Easy Easy'. It, for me is one of the best to represent his whole album, it has a lively acoustic punk vibe to begin with yet towards the end of the song he takes it back to a dreamy vibe reminiscent of the old crooners, with his slow guitar chords and echoed vocals.
It's a brilliant lead into the entire album which, after this first song, takes a very contemporary, rebellious turn.
The Cover art for the initial release of the E.P emulates the strange shapes of various artists from the fifties, who were just coming into their own contemporary style, such as Leger and Georges Mathieu. The latter describing his art as 'lyrical abstraction' which is a beautiful way of describing the bold yet fleeting shapes used in his paintings. I would also refer that quote to King Krule's songs, he produces and abstract and insightful way of looking at London life in the modern age.
