KURT VILE RELEASES "PRETTY PIMPIN" VIDEO, ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM
Philadelphia's Kurt Vile recently announced his new album (b'lieve i'm goin down, out September 25 on Matador), but today finds him sharing the first single and video off of the record. It follows along in Vile's tradition of writing meandering, melancholy songs that center around finger-picking guitar loops, but something about this seems a lot more concise. His songs have a tendency to be built around this restless loop, perpetually moving without settling, but the extra glossy layers (and fantastic guitar textures) on top of the already crystal clear production really help make the song shine and invite multiple listens. (It's currently hitting earworm status for me.)
Vile is hitting the road in October and November to support the album. Dates behind the jump.
