Krill — Music Videos

An individual voice in independent rock

Krill is an American indie-rock band associated with the Boston underground and the Exploding in Sound community. Its music combines wiry guitar patterns, unsettled rhythms and Jonah Furman’s immediately distinctive singing. The songs often turn ordinary details into larger, anxious questions, moving between awkward humor and emotional directness. Earlier releases including Lucky Leaves and A Distant Fist Unclenching established a catalog that rewards close attention to both the words and the way the instruments move around them.

Secret Language and the trio

The 2026 album Secret Language credits Furman on vocals, guitar, bass, piano and vibraphone, Ian Becker on drums and percussion, and Andrew Clinkman on guitar. Released on November 13 through Exploding in Sound, it includes “Commemorative Plaque,” “Porch,” “Driving” and “Snails.” The credits also identify contributions from violinist Macie Stewart, vocalist Maria Jacobson and saxophonist Will Greene, broadening the core trio’s instrumental vocabulary.

How the music unfolds

Krill’s songs can sound deliberately unpolished while remaining tightly interconnected. Guitar figures twist around the vocal, and small shifts in emphasis can change the mood of a passage. The combination gives the recordings a restless character: thoughtful, occasionally abrasive, and capable of finding an unexpectedly affecting melody within a crooked structure.
