hope u feel better

$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.
― Clarke B., Thursday, 4 October 2012 23:15 (eleven years ago) link
any plans for a new record?
― nostormo, Thursday, 4 October 2012 23:16 (eleven years ago) link
i'd heard there should be one before the end of the year, but have heard nothing more
― Trad., Arrrgh (stevie), Friday, 5 October 2012 07:18 (eleven years ago) link
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.

never too early to anticipate a new Kurt Vile record - Wakin On A Pretty Daze? (2013)
― nostormo, Tuesday, 19 February 2013 22:58 (eleven years ago) link
Think there might be a thread for it already!
― Z S, Tuesday, 19 February 2013 23:41 (eleven years ago) link
ooops, sorry folks.
― 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.
― nostormo, Monday, 22 April 2013 18:46 (ten years ago) link
New song with Courtnet burnett is excellent

New single Loading Zones is really good
― calstars, Friday, 17 August 2018 00:50 (five years ago) link
Another new song. Sadly, it's boring. (Loading Zones is boring too imo)
Hope he didn't lose it completely..
― nostormo, Monday, 10 September 2018 18:09 (five years ago) link
But isn't that his shtick? To always make the same boring song? Which usually is great btw.
― Ich bin kein Berliner (alex in mainhattan), Monday, 10 September 2018 18:36 (five years ago) link
The melodies are weaker. He becam too monotonic and lost the melancolic atmosphere.
― nostormo, Monday, 10 September 2018 18:39 (five years ago) link
"bassackwards" is amazing imo
― J0rdan S., Monday, 10 September 2018 18:40 (five years ago) link
i don't remember which new one i heard recently but i too was disappointed
― dyl, Monday, 10 September 2018 19:43 (five years ago) link
The slightly warped sound of Bassackwards is great. That song flows majestically towards the delta. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOFWHty4XFQ
― Ich bin kein Berliner (alex in mainhattan), Tuesday, 11 September 2018 20:19 (five years ago) link
oh i really like that (and yeah "loading zones" is the one i didn't much care for)
― dyl, Wednesday, 12 September 2018 05:23 (five years ago) link
yeah it's gorgeously produced too
ok so i am looking forward to the album then lol
― dyl, Wednesday, 12 September 2018 05:28 (five years ago) link
those lyrics, ugh. when he started in second verse, same as the first, I had to bail
― rip van wanko, Wednesday, 12 September 2018 15:21 (five years ago) link
Yup. The first verse wasn’t even all that. writers using the word “bay” is usually a bad sign I think Loading Zones is much better
― calstars, Wednesday, 12 September 2018 15:46 (five years ago) link
I enjoyed the song right up to the point where I thought, “That was a pretty good song,” then looked at the time and realized there were four plus minutes left.
― Andrew "Hit Dice" Clay (PBKR), Wednesday, 12 September 2018 15:57 (five years ago) link
Pitchfork uploaded his live performence of the new album on youtube.I like the arrangements but the melodies are meh imo
― nostormo, Tuesday, 2 October 2018 16:06 (five years ago) link
i guess maybe i am starting to wonder exactly how many Kurt Vile songs i need in my life

had felt like poster above when it comes to singles so far, but this album is great, especially after the first few tracks. love the mild production variety!
― sean gramophone, Friday, 12 October 2018 13:48 (five years ago) link
the sum of the album is better than the individual tracks, yes. But my god, 80 minutes is a lot.

80 minutes is a lot.
this, too. or maybe instead of what i posted before. or maybe both.
