In addition to the plaudits he has won for the quality of his punning, Kurt Vile was named the winner of The Great Woodsist Race 2009 - his prize being a multi-million dollar Matador recording contract and a date with Cat Power (try to keep her off the shandies, Kurt). I haven't heard his debut LP with the big boys but Business Lady reckons it's really good and if this hyperlimited 7" is anything to go by I imagine she's right! A-side 'He's Alright' shambles along in a lo-fi country pop performed in the bath sort of way while 'Farfisas in Falltime' is a droney, almost James Ferraro-y, guitar track that grinds in a gently noisy sort of way and 'Take Your Time' is a more traditionally folky blues number in a 'may well be my favourite of the three' sort of way. Be quick!
