The Mute Sessions were undertaken as a way of using alternate instrumentation to accentuate different sonic and conceptual contours, which may not have been so heavily in the foreground in the album versions.
Tape manipulation, musique concrete and synthesizer programming were some of the techniques employed here.
We endeavoured to strip a few of the songs of their machinations, as if re-sung from sheet music at the end of times to a tape loop and a broken piano.

Today, King Krule announces his forthcoming live album ‘You Heat Me Up, You Cool Me Down’, due out September 10th via True Panther Sound/Matador Records (LP version in stores December 10). In addition, the artist shares the lead single and an accompanying video from the live album, “Stoned Again (Live).” Mere weeks before the world went into lockdown, King Krule had performed a handful of European shows which featured tracks from his critically acclaimed third album 'Man Alive!’ Recorded live during that short run of shows, the 'Man Alive!’ single “Stoned Again” was taken from a show in Paris. Performed with a ferocious intensity, the recording offers fans a glimpse into a live tour that never was, while also reminding them of the artist’s unique stage presence and incredible performances delivered across his entire catalogue.
'You Heat Me Up, You Cool Me Down’ features a setlist of 17 songs that span the acclaimed artist’s entire discography including fan favorites “Easy Easy,” “Baby Blue,” “Out Getting Ribs” and more. In addition to the album’s upcoming digital release, the project is slated for a physical LP release on December 10th.

“A record of staggering universal scope… ’-io’ is in so many ways an enormous album, in scale, instrumentation and theme, and though it first grew in Fohr’s most personal period self-examination, its dramatic cascades of emotion express universal truths.” The Quietus features Circuit des Yeux ahead of the release of her new album ”-io" next Friday, October 22.
