Tara Lily, the British-Bengali musician who’s based in South London, has shared a new song featuring King Krule dubbed “Tropical Storm.” She describes the mellow collaboration with Archy Marshall as being “a lucid dream playing in our minds again and again.” Give the song a listen below.
“Tropical Storm” is the lead single from Lily’s upcoming record Quiet Nights (Early Takes). That four-song EP is out November 7 via Tru Thoughts. Discussing the upcoming record, Lily said, “Quiet Nights are some of the early sketches from a deadly quiet and beautiful period of time. For myself it was a time of stripping back, dropping down into the ground and channelling something raw and real.” Her debut album, Speak in the Dark, came out last year.
King Krule’s most recent album Space Heavy, in which he sung about love and his newfound status as a father, came out in 2023. He followed up that fourth studio LP with the concert film You’ll Never Guess What Happened Next that same year, and then the four-song Shhhhhhh! EP in 2024.
