King Never's sound is hard hitting, atmospheric and expansive, while maintaining strong melodic hooks. Output varies from ambient soundscapes to vibey modern rock and progressive pop songs with an experimental edge. The name King Never is taken from a captivating passage of Fyodor Dostoevsky's classic novel Crime and Punishment.
