Kurt Vile has revealed the title (b’lieve i’m goin down…) and loose release date (fall 2015) of his new album. According to a Rolling Stone report from a few months back, it was recorded in Brooklyn, Southern California, and Athens, Georgia with producer Rob Schnapf, Warpaint drummer Stella Mozgawa, and sound artist Farmer Dave Scher.
“I wanted to get back into the habit of writing a sad song on my couch, with nobody waiting on me,” Vile said of the record’s early songwriting sessions. “I really wanted it to sound like it’s on my couch—not in a lo-fi way, just more unguarded and vulnerable… It’s definitely got that night vibe. KV’s Night Life—it’s my sequel to Donald Fagen’s The Nightfly.”
Check out the details for Vile’s fall tour (featuring Cass McCombs, Luke Roberts and Waxahatchee) below, along with a trailer shot at Josh Homme’s favorite studio by longtime Animal Collective collaborator Danny Perez.
