^^^ otm, I'm really annoyed by this too. Yes, I understand I can get the EP tracks digitally, but its still kind of a slap in the face when labels do this.

Prodigy=Failure?!
crazy talk!
― nostormo, Saturday, 24 September 2011 16:24 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, "overnite religion" and "Unknown" alone makes it at least Very Good - those might be two fav KV songs. i like others on it as well.

Blackberry Song is awesome too. I also love the production on the album, or rather the lack of production.

he sounds like mick jagger or iggy pop in this record and he never did before or after.like royal trux meets spacemen 3 or something

I think CP is a major misstep. Maybe if it was your first taste you'd think it was good, but not me. The EP version of "Hunchback" is so much better and I find "Freak Train" extremely annoying. I actually gave up on him after that, but SRfMH is so good I had to come back.

guys the new split 7" with woods is REALLY GOOD too
― 69, Monday, 26 September 2011 22:14 (twelve years ago) link
@69, does that 7" come with a download code? Might pick up from label.
I'm curious when some of the new stuff he played at his acoustic instores will turn up recorded, he did a great sounding murder ballad that I've yet to hear again.

hmmm im not sure it does! lemme look later on this evening...

Heard it at a friends house last night. Not too much material, but it's got me thirsty for that new EP.
Was listening to some older stuff and I'm starting to think Space Forklift is his best song.
― Ryan, Wednesday, 28 September 2011 15:18 (twelve years ago) link
Space Forklift is amazing

Kurt Vile and The Young will be such a killer show to catch. Kind of bummed that new 7" is only available at two shows.
― Ryan, Friday, 21 October 2011 17:58 (twelve years ago) link
Seriously, fuck off Matador. Looks like I have to re-buy Smoke Ring For My Halo in order to get the new EP. The only way its available on its own is vinyl, with either CD or digital you have to buy the Smoke Ring deluxe edition to get both the album and the EP. Hate when labels pull this bullshit, I expect it from major labels, but Matador? C'mon guys.

get a record player
― Mr. Que, Monday, 7 November 2011 14:36 (twelve years ago) link
Have one, but its in storage for now because I had to sacrifice the space for our nursery. Its just frustrating. And you wonder why people turn to illegal downloading when you won't give willing customers an option to pay for your product.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Monday, 7 November 2011 14:38 (twelve years ago) link
yeah whenever i am frustrated with a company, i just steal from them, it makes me feel so much better.

can you not get the EP from iTunes?

hey jon
will be available on amazon tomorrow for $6

$6? Seriously, fuck off Amazon.
― PTSD clarinet kid (am0n), Monday, 7 November 2011 16:35 (twelve years ago) link
$6 is reasonable for an EP! I am feeling happier now. I didn't see it on iTunes as a standalone and digital wasn't an option at Matador's store. Didn't even think to check Amazon.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Monday, 7 November 2011 17:50 (twelve years ago) link
yeah amazon mp3 is great now IMO, usually cheaper and also no DRM and 320k quality, i love it, i haven't bought anything off itunes in forever
the free cloud player works well too

the title track has a v tom petty vibe imho
― The doctor smiled, realizing that he had made his point. (stevie), Monday, 7 November 2011 18:59 (twelve years ago) link
i don't know about tom petty but the intricate guitar sound of the first song is even more magic than anything on smoke rings. it's like a naturally dyed persian carpet woven from guitar strings.
― alex in mainhattan, Monday, 7 November 2011 21:02 (twelve years ago) link
I just bought the songs individually from iTunes (in this case, cheaper than Amazon).It's really great.

If it's a Kurt Vile thread bumping-I'll check it out
― nostormo, Friday, 23 March 2012 17:09 (twelve years ago) link
Smoke Ring For My Halo is such a gorgeous freaking record. I heard it in a store the other day, Googled some lyrics, and was surprised as to what it was. I had checked out some clips long ago and never followed up, but this was really, really immediately striking to me, and I picked it up the next chance I got. And I'm so not in this headspace right now; that vast majority of what I've been listening to the past six months is metal. The vibe he conjures is so immediate and evocative; I love everything about it.

You can stream the first single, which is over 9 minutes on his website http://kurtvile.com/. New DOUBLE Album out in April.This song is so awesome and slackerish. The beginning sounds a lot like Pavement, but then turns into something so much more amazing.

― scubasteve, Wednesday, 20 February 2013 00:19 (eleven years ago) link
he never sounded so angry, aggressive and dirty as he did on Childish Prodigy.(vocals and production)
i hope he'll make another "dark" record like this, only with much less fillers.
