Synopsis

Product Description

Philadelphia singer-songwriter KURT VILE (yes, that is his real name) makes his Matador debut with "Childish Prodigy." His second album (the first came out on the tiny Gulcher label, vinyl on Woodsist), it is a rich tapestry of rock and folk sounds, occasionally lo-fi, occasionally lustrous, hitting touchstones from Tom Petty to Street Legal-era Dylan to Spacemen 3 to Skip Spence. "Childish Prodigy" is more diverse than its predecessor, and ranges from pounding rockers like "Hunchabck" and "Freak Train" to gorgeous folky numbers like "Overnight Religion" and the soaring trumpet in "Amplifier." This is an absorbing and addictive record with layers and layers of discovery.

You are wasting time reading this- time that could be spent

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Buy this already.

Facts:

1. Kurt Vile is the new revelation.

2. If we all are not aware of Mister Vile via the culture at large within the next year it will be due to a failing of the universe's mysterious workings.

3. You don't have anything better to spend ten bucks on.

4. If you have ears and have not listened to Kurt Vile you are disrespecting Jesus. Jesus gave us all ears so that we could someday hear this music.

5. I was serious about number 3. Quit smoking for two days if you have to. This will more than make up for it."
