God Is Saying This To You...

Kurt Vile
God Is Saying This To You...
(March 3, 2009 - Mexican Summer)

This came in the mail yesterday along with a few other things from Mexican Summer, but this is the real deal. I'm still kicking myself for not having gone to see his show at Amnesia last week when I had been anxiously looking forward to it. I was just getting sick though so I might have had a miserable time but I should have at least attempted. Well, this description comes straight from the label:
More than a mere odds-n-ends collection, Kurt Vile's latest LP is a compilation of tracks from Overnite KV, a tour-only CDR made in conjunction with a European tour of Kurt's other project (The War on Drugs), along with a handful of extra tracks recorded specifically for this release. Here we find Kurt solo, four-trackin' as usual, and blowing minds with his mix of bluegrass guitar, blazed singer-songwriterisms, and the knowledge of how to balance these contexts out with laidback precision. Psychedelic to its core, these twelve tracks speak to the will of the casual perfectionist, honing his craft with effortless aplomb. You'll be hearing plenty more from this Philadelphian wizard in the months to follow, and we're happy to keep the ball rolling with God Is Saying This to You.
For fans of Ariel Pink, Gary War, John Maus, Night Control, etc...
