(watch my moves) album cover

I’ve never seen Kurt Vile live but I had the opportunity to about 9 years ago. Hotel Congress. Tuscan, AZ. I was staying there, he was playing there and I didn’t go…. I’ve been bummed out since. I am an absolute sucker for the mid-tempo spaced out twang-folk. And he’s got it down. This album is super chill. Poetic & groovy. Musically it’s nonstop. The multi-instrumentalist creates a constant wave of snare, twangs, pickin’ & other well blended sounds that beautifully back what seems to be an effortlessly delivered bag of poetry. Occasionally harmonized. The tone & cadence can be reminiscent from a personal fav(and mentioned) Neil Young all the way to Tim Delaughter of Tripping Daisy. Brown-Eyed Pickle Boy!

“It feels like Kurt Vile has hazily strolled his way into becoming one of America’s great modern songwriters. Across his eight previous albums, the Philly legend has beamed himself out to the world like a compelling and strange frequency, swerving trends and growing his dazed sound with raw beauty”

“Kurt Vile’s ‘Watch My Moves’ Is a Majestically Mellow Zone-Out Session
Laid-back Philly guitar wizard’s ninth album stretches out and gets comfortable amidst the chaos”
– @rollingstone

“On (watch my moves), Kurt Vile achieves a level of comfortability that seems practically impossible. Even for a songwriter known for his spacey, easygoing style of indie rock”
– @ourculturemag
