Red/Black marbled 7" vinyl.

Background information about 'Crazy / Never Let Me Go'

King Dude strikes again with this mesmerizing two-track 7" that showcases the project's haunting brilliance in its purest form. "Crazy" opens this sonic journey with its hypnotic blend of dark folk sensibilities and gothic undertones, where T.J. Cowgill's distinctive baritone voice weaves through minimalist instrumentation like smoke through ancient trees. The track builds with an almost ritualistic intensity, combining elements of country noir with occult-tinged atmospherics that have made King Dude a cult favorite among discerning listeners.

The B-side "Never Let Me Go" serves as the perfect counterpoint, delivering an equally captivating but more introspective experience. Here, King Dude explores themes of devotion and obsession through sparse arrangements that allow every note and word to resonate with maximum impact. The interplay between acoustic guitar work and subtle percussion creates an intimate yet unsettling atmosphere that lingers long after the needle lifts. This 7" captures the essence of what makes King Dude so compelling – the ability to transform simple songs into profound emotional experiences.
