Willis Earl Beal // Evening's Kiss

XL Recordings are doing alright for column inches lately, what with Adele's recent bird flipping, M.I.A.'s recent bird flipping, and Tylor The Creator's constant bird flipping, and it's only a matter of time before the label's most recent recruit Willis Earl Beal gets the XL guide to media handling.

For now, he's settling for hand drawn videos featuring naked women and ignoring pets to meet the controversy quota and accompany his incredible lo-fi blues tracks. Mr Beal will be at London's Power Lunches next week, before further shows at The Victoria and Sebright Arms in early March. See you there.
