Kurt Vile – He’s All Right
Kurt Vile is the man behind one of my favourite songs of 2009, ‘Beach on the Moon (Recycled Lyrics)’, and this is the stand-out track on his third album in the space of a year, Childish Prodigy, which is about to be released on Matador. There’s something about that echoing strum that captivates me, and though the line “To get up on top these days you gotta be a lowlife drifter/ so slither up just like a snake upon a spiral staircase,” appears again elsewhere on the album, these two songs seem to have a way of naturally feeding into each other. Listened back to back, it’s a good way to bring the weekend to a close…
Vile has two shows in Spain in December, so I’m hoping some more dates will be announced a little further north around that time too.
