Following the success of this tour he moved on to a tour of North America. Though his music tends to be difficult to classify, it holds elements of punk jazz, hip hop, darkwave and trip-hop. The name King Krule is inspired by the Elvis song King Creole and not from the Donkey Kong Country character King K. Rool as has been previously rumored. His video for the song A Lizard State has more than 3.7 million views on YouTube. After a short break he went on tour in Europe once again, blatantly skipping his homeland of the United Kingdom. In February 2014, King Krule appeared on the cover of The Fader in its 90th issue. He released his third studio album, The Ooz, in October 2017.
