Kurt Vile B'lieve I'm Goin Down... on 2LP + Download

Also Available as a Deluxe 3LP-Set with 6 Bonus Tracks!

Kurt Vile does his own myth making; a boy/man with an old soul voice in the age of digital everything becoming something else, which is why his sixth full-length record and first in two years - the focused, brilliantly clear and seemingly candid B'lieve I'm Goin Down... is a breath of fresh air.

Recorded and mixed in a number of locations, including Los Angeles and Joshua Tree, the album is a handshake across the country, East to West coast, through the dustbowl history of Woody honest straight forward talk Guthrie, and a Cali canyon dead still night floating in a nearly waterless landscape. The record is all air, weightless, bodyless, but grounded in convincing authenticity, in the best version of singer songwriter upcycling.

Capturing Vile both deeply introspective and briskly self-assured, he explains: "I wanted to get back into the habit of writing a sad song on my couch, with nobody waiting on me. 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 a weird, accepting, mature record, acknowledging the inherent immaturity of being a person whether father, husband, partner, adult, musician, not perfect, but compelling for its understanding...that's life though so sad to say..." – Kim Gordon
