The first gratis transmission from Kurt Vile’s new record nearly hits the 10-minute mark but chances are you won’t even notice. That’s because it drifts along without a care in the world, pulling us into Vile’s permanent vacation mindset with nothing but a steady guitar strum, a soothing rhythm section and melodies that make us wish winter would hurry up already.
Wakin on a Pretty Daze is due out April 9th via Matador. Check out a time lapse video of Espo (the iconic street artist who got his start as a “dirt bag graffiti writer from Philadelphia”) working on a mural inspired by the record here, and a short documentary about the cover art here.
