RCRD LBL Freeload: Kurt Vile, “Beach on the Moon (Recycled Lyrics)”

story THE FADER

By our count, Kurt Vile has been at least partially responsible for two of the more cohesive and enjoyable albums we’ve heard in the last 8-12 months: War on Drugs’ constantly-in-rotation Wagonwheel Blues and God Is Saying This To You (Mexican Summer, May). It could’ve easily been a collection of snippets and half-finished four track experiments cobbled together for die-hards, but instead it’s a hazy, intimate and brief album that really has its shit together. All we need now is for Vile to put out a star-studded folk long-player that people will hate on for like 20 years before it becomes the touchstone for a new generation of artists, kinda like this.
