Meredith (2011)

Kurt Vile has been on a slow burn ascent since 2008, steadily rising from the American underground through relentless touring and the release of four smashing albums. The culmination of this groundwork was this year’s epic Smoke Ring For My Halo (out on Matador and locally on Remote Control) which perfectly showcases the amazing range of Kurt’s music.

It’s tender and evocative, elusive but companionable, tough in the gut and the arm, swollen in the chest and giddy in the head. It’s a record that is perfect for any given day in whatever season, to satisfy all moods in every possible scenario, first thing in the morning or last thing at night, today, tomorrow or five years from now.

Kurt Vile is touring with his crack ensemble The Violators, who add the perfect modicum of live grunt to Kurt’s songs and make them roar. Catch Kurt Vile & The Violators at the 21st Meredith Music Festival, Melbourne & Sydney dates below + other dates to be announced.
