Wake and bake on the right side of the bed with Kurt Vile! The Philly troubadour returns April 9th with a sixty-nine minute 2xLP called Wakin On A Pretty Daze (Matador). According to Matador’s Matablog, the album was recorded with famed engineer and producer John Agnello at “a multitude of different studios throughout the Northeast” during the late summer and fall of last year.
On the first single “Wakin” On A Pretty Day,” Vile dream walks thru the haze with languid, vocal ease before levitating above the city streets into a slow burning, creeper of a guitar solo. The YouTube video of the song is not the official video, though it does contain some footage from Steve Powers‘ documentary about the making of the album cover mural. The official video is coming soon, we are told. Kurt Vile and the Violators head out on tour this coming April. Check out the dates below.
