Archy Marshall’s The OOZ is a dense, sprawling follow-up to Six Feet Beneath the Moon, capturing the disorientation and heartbreak of youth in South London. With raw, poetic narratives, Marshall paints a bleak, harrowing portrait of a fracturing city and a lost generation. Unlike his debut’s broad scope, The OOZ is sharper and more focused, exploring themes of self-destruction, fractured relationships, and personal dissolution over jazzy, moody instrumentals. Tracks like Biscuit Town, Midnight 01, and Slush Puppy delve into emotional turmoil, while songs like The Cadet Leaps and Czech One reveal Marshall’s struggle to find refuge amid urban chaos, even as chemical highs fail to soothe the pain.
