On Repeat: Kurt Vile – Childish Prodigy
Posted by: nick
Childish Prodigy, Kurt Vile‘s third album proper, is his first for his new label Matador Records who have also signed Music Mule favourites Harlem recently. Aside from being great at naming albums Kurt knows how to pen a fine tune. More influenced by rock than a lot of his lo-fi peers. A lot of his music is acoustic guitar driven but sounds a far cry from folk.
For Fans Of: The White Stripes, Here We Go Magic, Tom Petty.
