It's a Kurt Vile Kind of Day

Thats an autumn sweater right there, that is.
  • That's an autumn sweater right there, that is.
What a lovely, dismal sort of September day. It's the start of the workweek, and for the collegiate-types out there, the start of fall semester. Lucky for us, here is some new music to narrate the new day and season.

"The Creature," a new track recorded during Kurt Vile's Smoke Ring for My Halo sessions, is premiering over at the Matablog. It's part of the six song EP Vile will release on November 6, entitled So Outta Reach. The EP will also feature an ode to The Boss, a cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Downbound Train." That's not streaming yet, but you can watch Kurt Vile and the Violators performing the cover in Pittsburgh earlier this year and compare it to the original (after the jump). In the meantime, the rolling, delicate acoustic fingerpicking on "The Creature" seems fitting for the rain about to patter on the glass, that brush of blue cloud on the horizon mirroring Vile's smoky drawl. Sweater weather is imminent—I can feel it in my bones. Happy autumn and happy listening, everyone.
