Kurt Vile - In My Time

Kurt Vile is an interesting guy. He has weaved a way through the mine strewn battlefield that is life with just a guitar, a box of cereal and two copies of What Car? magazine. He is a festival circuit regular and he got his big break playing Leroy in "Fame". I quite like Mr Vile and his records are usually sweet. He reminds me of a less nasal Neil Young or a crappy Bruce Springsteen. He's not a as chest beating or swaggering as The Boss
and I reckon calling him crappy is .. Well, a bit tight. I'll call him the stoner Bruce Springsteen, which I reckon is a more worthy accolade. This single is ace. It makes you feel nostalgic and warm with a sort of bittersweet after =taste. I reckon it's psych-rock with lo-fi leanings. It's a welcome listen and it will sit in your record collection really nicely. Oh and the flip side's a total banger....
