Kurt Vile will release it on April 15th.
Kurt Vile’s newly created home studio in the Mount Airy neighborhood of Philadelphia was the primary location for the sessions which have produced his next studio album ‘(watch my moves)’.
His longtime collaborator Rob Schnapf was present as Vile worked to a simple premise: “It’s about songwriting,” he says. “It’s about lyrics.”
“It’s about being the master of all domains in the music. I’m always thinking about catchy music, even though it’s fried, or sizzled, out. It’s my own version of a classic thing – it’s moving forward and backward at the same time.”
“When Waylon Jennings became an outlaw country artist, he liked to record at Hillbilly Central, which was Tompall Glaser’s studio. OKV Central is my version of that in Mount Airy. I’ve come into my own here, and at the same time I’m getting back to my home-recording roots.”
