Kurt Vile’s hazy brand of lo-fi folk impresses once again, as Wakin’ On A Pretty Daze floats through a sunny, kaleidoscopic dream.
It’s surprising that Sweet Lights isn’t more recognized for his talent.
Vile takes fire for selling out but stands by his artistic integrity throughout the deluxe album.
The first quarter of 2011 is closed and these are the albums we already can’t live without. Oh, there’s some free MP3s for you too!
In many ways, Vile’s new record resonates, while Mascis’ nakedness rides along in an interesting test of his status as a pioneer and innovator.
