Kurt Vile - God Is Saying This To You?
Listen While You Read: Download
Kurt Vile is a guitarist and singer from Philadelphia. He leads in the band The War On Drugs and also has a burgeoning solo career under his own name. Though not strictly a folk musician, Vile released a 2009 psych-folk album called God Is Saying This To You? This record was mostly overlooked by those more interested in his more aggressive rock album also released in 2009 called Childish Prodigy. Personally, I enjoy the cleaner, Jim James reverb infused production of God Is Saying This To You?
Vile has a unique way of sounding incredibly likable without becoming overly catchy or just another singer-songwriter. This record definitely falls under the Lo-Fi category with most of the tracks having been recording by himself in his own makeshift studio. The words are half mumbled and hardly more audible than a soft hum or whisper, and yet despite all these seemingly annoying qualities (i.e. Iron and Wine), Kurt Vile has a brilliant way of making himself sound like an amiable genius rather than a soft spoken downer. Enjoy this record please.
And as always, if you're interested in this entire record, feel free to leave your e-mail in the comments and I'll send a download link. Enjoy
