DESCRIPTION:
2x12" Indie Alternativ . Rock LP - Pressed on Blue Vinyl
Kurt Vile returns with third release on Verve Records. The album title, 'Philadelphia’s Been Good To Me', illustrates his love for his home city, where he still resides and records most of his music.
Musically, the album includes everything fans have come to love about KV: jangly guitars, soaring instrumental passages, and lyrics that are both cheeky and sentimental at the same time.
This album depicts a musician who, in spite of having a majorly successful career, has stayed true to his roots and continues to represent artistic integrity.
Forget Nashville, Los Angeles and Austin, for Philadelphia's Kurt Vile it's all about his hometown - a place with a staggering indie rock history over the past twenty years. Kurt Vile sits up there along with the likes of The War on Drugs and The Districts as one of the best to ever strap a guitar around his shoulder. "This is my 'bringing it all back home to Philly' record," Vile says. "I'm treating it like my last record. I put everything into it. It's my best vocal record. It's my best electric guitar record. It's my most organic record, made in the comfort of my own zone." And it's hard to argue, the tone of 'Chance To Bleed', for example, is a masterclass in making the most of great guitar tone. If you liked 'Pretty Pimpin', then you're in for a treat

Last FM Information on Kurt Vile
Please note the information is done on a artist keyword match and data is provided by LastFM.
Kurt Vile (born 1980 in Philadelphia) is an American guitarist and singer. Previously the lead guitarist in the band The War on Drugs, he began his solo career in 2008.
Though his name is sometimes assumed to be a pseudonym due to its similarity to German composer Kurt Weill, it is in fact his birth name, as given by his parents Donna and Charles Vile.
Vile began his musical career in 2003 creating lo-fi home recordings with frequent collaborator Adam Granduciel. The duo subsequently formed the indie rock band The War on Drugs in 2005. Vile departed following the release of their debut studio album, Wagonwheel Blues, in 2008.
Vile's music has been likened to Bruce Springsteen, Bob Seger, and Tom Petty. His first album for Matador, titled Childish Prodigy was released in October 2009. Prior to signing with Matador, Vile released two albums, God Is Saying This To You and Constant Hitmaker, on Mexican Summer and Woodsist, respectively. He plays both solo shows as well as shows with a backing band called The Violators.
Smoke Ring For My Halo, released in March of 2011, is Kurt Vile's fourth album and second official release for Matador Records. Uncut placed the album at number 14 on its list of "Top 50 albums of 2011" and garnered Vile the iTunes #Rewind2011 Singer/Songwriter Album of the Year. Vile followed up the widely acclaimed album with the six-song EP release, So Outta Reach, in November of the same year. The EP was composed of tracks originating from the same sessions that birthed Smoke Ring for My Halo. So Outta Reach includes the single 'The Creature', acknowledged as one of Vile's best, and a driving rock cover of Bruce Springsteen's 'Downbound Train'. Read more on Last.fm.
