Kurt Vile touched me. And I liked it. His sound has changed since his previous albums--a more stripped down, bare bones feel that really let's his songwriting shine--but I'll take any song from his catalog. The son of a forklift operator in Philadelphia, and the youngest of his 10 siblings, Kurt began writing music in his bedroom. His music has been compared to Leonard Cohen, Tom Petty and Animal Collective. And that was in just one article!
Kurt has released 4 albums: Constant Hitmaker under Gulcher Records (2008) and Woodsist Records (2009), God Is Saying This To You with Mexican Summer Records (2009), Childish Prodigy, and Smoke Ring For My Halo with Matador Records (2010, 2011)
