Kurt Vile Details New Album b’lieve i’m goin down…, Shares “Pretty Pimpin” Video
Kurt Vile recently revealed that the follow-up to 2013′s Wakin on a Pretty Daze is called b’lieve i’m goin down…. Now, he’s shared more details about that album, as well as a new video for a new track.
b’lieve i’m goin down… is out September 25 via Matador. Check out album opener “Pretty Pimpin” in its new Daniel Henry-directed music video below. Also below, find the album’s tracklist and Vile’s upcoming tour dates.
A press release for the album features this statement from Kim Gordon:
Kurt does his own myth-making; a boy/man with an old soul voice in the age of digital everything becoming something else, which is why this focused, brilliantly clear and seemingly candid record is a breath of fresh air. Recorded and mixed in a number of locations, including Los Angeles and Joshua Tree, b’lieve i’m goin down… is a handshake across the country, east to west coast, thru the dustbowl history (“valley of ashes”) of woody honest strait forward talk guthrie, and a cali canyon dead still nite floating in a nearly waterless landscape. The record is all air, weightless, bodyless, but grounded in convincing authenticity, in the best version of singer songwriter upcycling.
