Guitarist Kurt Vile will issue his sixth album, entitled b’lieve i’m goin down, on September 25 via Matador Records. Vile’s follow-up to his 2013 LP Wakin on a Pretty Daze features the single “Pretty Pimpin,” a video of which has been officially released.
Matador shared a note from admirer Kim Gordon regarding the new LP, it reads:
Kurt does his own myth-making; a boy/man with an old soul voice in the age of digital everything becoming something else, which is why this focused, brilliantly clear and seemingly candid record is a breath of fresh air. Recorded and mixed in a number of locations, including Los Angeles and Joshua Tree, b’lieve i’m goin down… is a handshake across the country, east to west coast, thru the dustbowl history (“valley of ashes”) of woody honest strait forward talk guthrie, and a cali canyon dead still nite floating in a nearly waterless landscape. The record is all air, weightless, bodyless, but grounded in convincing authenticity, in the best version of singer songwriter upcycling
Vile will tour extensively in support of the new album throughout October and November with Waxahatchee, Luke Roberts, Cass McCombs and Heron Oblivion opening select dates.Watch the video for the LP’s lead track below:
Vile previously shared a teaser video showing behind-the-scenes footage of the making of b’lieve i’m goin down which you can see below:
