Bottle It In
“Kurt Vile continues to move forward on Bottle It In”
Wakin On a Pretty Daze
“Wakin on a Pretty Daze is Kurt Vile's most spacious, becalmed record yet, and it contains some of his best-ever brand of cosmic stand-up. The album moves at its own stately pace and with its own serene logic and time.”
B'lieve I'm Goin Down...
“Kurt Vile's albums draw you in with the vibe, but you return to them for their human qualities, the way they offer a manner of seeing the world. His tossed-off musings on b’lieve i’m goin down remind you that every sage worth a damn knew that life was absurdly funny and tragic simultaneously.”
Smoke Ring For My Halo
“Kurt Vile's fourth full-length may also be his best, as it distills classic American guitar music into one singular and sublime vision.”

“Philly hero keeps it weird on freewheeling ninth album”
(watch my moves)
“Listening to Sun Ra as his breakfast settled and his morning coffee began to cool was Kurt Vile’s ritual whilst crafting (watch my moves). As the cosmic jazz artist’s music tapped into the spiritual, Vile too emulates deeper feelings on his ninth album. Utilising psych-warped synths, breezy instrumentals and elements of classic rock, this meditative record feels like a guide to Vile slowing down. ”
Wavelength is the Letterboxd for music.
