After his incredible album Bottle It In which was released in 2018 under the label Matador, Kurt Vile has opened a new chapter: one that sees him cross paths with Verve, the iconic jazz label who sought him out. This album harbours a new, creative energy that emerged from the darkness of the recent lockdown, during which Vile had a home studio built. Though this passionate and consciencious artist found it difficult blending his work with his home life to begin with, this ultra-cool forty-something still managed to find the perfect work/life balance to create his eighth full-length album, half of which is recorded with Rob Schnapf (known for his work with Elliott Smith) in Los Angeles. This album is all about laid-back rock.
With 15 tracks (many of which exceed 5 minutes) spread across 1 hour and 13 minutes of listening pleasure, (watch my moves) goes against the grain in an era governed by short formats. Instead, Kurt Vile takes pleasure in the process, letting his love for country-folk ballads pour out of him, free from any kind of restriction. As usual, he’s joined by a number of friends: Cate Le Bon and drummer Stella Mozgawa from Warpaint on Jesus on a Wire and Chastity Belt on Chazzy Don’t Mind and (shiny things). Saxophonist James Stewart from Sun Ra Arkestra even features on the piano in Goin on a Plane Today and in a few understated solos on the cosmic track Like Exploding Stones. The midtempo melodies and lunar lyrics are wrapped up with dreamy folk, gentle country (in particular on his cover of Wages of Sin by Bruce Springsteen), and soft lo-fi guitars and pastel synths (in the magical Mount Airy Hill (Way Gone)). The lyrics are often very contemplative (Stuffed Leopard) and would relax even the most stressed-out of Wall Street traders. He even pushes them to the point of instrumental abstraction at times (Kurt Runner). Though some may find this album too slow or too long, others will find it transports them into a fourth dimension where time and space collide. © Charlotte Saintoin/Qobuz
