Kurt Vile released the new single “Mount Airy Hill (Way Gone)” along with a video directed by Drew Saracco. The track is featured on Vile’s forthcoming (watch my moves) studio album due out on April 26 via Verve Records.

Vile plays keyboards, slide guitar and sings on the new single, which features Violators Rob Laasko on bass, Jesse Trbovich on guitar and drummer Kyle Spence on drums. Other contributors to the album include James Stewart, Chastity Belt, Cate Le Bon, Stella Mozgawa and Sarah Jones.
