Wes Anderson’s latest endeavor Asteroid City is making its crash-landing into theaters this Friday, June 23rd, and it has a fitting soundtrack to match. As a preview, Jarvis Cocker has shared one of his contributions to the film called “Dear Alien (Who Art In Heaven),” a single he wrote with Anderson and his former Pulp bandmate Richard Hawley. The song also features Seu Jorge, who was prominently featured on the soundtrack for Anderson’s The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.
Considering Asteroid City takes place in a desert town in 1955, the soundtrack comes chock-full of period-setting tunes like classic bluegrass and country as well as mid-century pop. Along with a couple of originals from Cocker are songs by Bing Crosby, The Springfields (featuring a young Dusty Springfield), Burl Ives, Tex Ritter, and many more, as well as a score by Alexandre Desplat.

King Krule’s Space Heavy is out today, June 9th, via Matador Records.
Now a decade out from his debut album as King Krule, Archy Marshall wrote Space Heavy over the past couple of years while traveling back and forth between London and Liverpool, the two cities where he’s been dividing his time. The album is billed as an exploration of “the space between” — or, as a press release explains further, “the space haunted by dreams of love, touching a narrative of lost connection, losing people and situations to the guillotine of the universe.”
Once Marshall wrote the record, he fleshed it out in-studio with producer Dilip Harris, as well as longtime band members saxophonist Ignacio Salvadores, drummer George Bass, bassist James Wilson, and guitarist Jack Towell.
Beginning in July, King Krule will embark on the “Space Heavy Tour,” featuring dates across North America and Europe. Tickets are available here.

King Krule is back with “If Only It Was Warmth,” the second preview of his forthcoming June album, Space Heavy.
The track’s simplistic, minimal instrumentation allows for King Krule’s deep, brooding voice to really shine, taking on emotional concepts like love and loss. The accompanying black-and-white music video shows the artist symbolically traversing expansive waters with a cactus. Watch the self-directed visual below.
Space Heavy is a reflection of thoughts that King Krule, real name Archy Marshall, experienced during his commutes between Liverpool and London from 2020 to 2022. He became wrapped up in the idea of space, and how it affected love and connection during peak pandemic times. The follow-up to 2020’s Man Alive! is out June 9th, and pre-orders are ongoing. Also check out his previously single, “Seaforth.”
King Krule will embark on an extensive supporting tour throughout the US as well as Europe and the UK. Get...
