This album has been in the works since 2017, when O’Malley and Tim Wyskida (drums) recorded some initial sessions in the UK. They didn’t set out to make a Khanate record, but the tone was undeniable, and it has grown organically over time with each member adding their own mark and influence. They all clearly had more in the tank than they realised for this project. The record feels mature and weathered. Confidently slower than their debut and more focused than Capture and Release. Overall, To Be Cruel is not just a triumphant return, it’s some of the best work that Khanate have ever created. All three tracks have stand out moments, but they also work together as a curated collection. This isn’t an album you’re going to put on when your parents pop in for a cup of tea. It’s an album you’ll want to listen to alone in a darkened room with your own thoughts. This is music for grown-ups. Embrace the gloom and see where this remarkable album takes you.
