Kurt Vile has made his move after last year’s superb collaboration with Courtney Barnett.
Loading Zones is his first new music since 2015, and has a video directed by Drew Saracco which pays homage to his home-city Philadelphia.
He’ll be back driving around North America later this year for a month-long tour, but not before a trip through Europe has been completed which includes November UK dates.
