Kurt Vile - Speed, Sound, Lonely KV

The death of John Prine earlier this year led to an outpouring of grief; whilst not a household name in the UK, Prine was regarded as one of the most influential songwriters of his generation, with many citing his presence as key to making the American country folk genre what it is today.

When familiarising one’s self with his catalogue, it’s not hard to see the effect he had on Kurt Vile, so this new EP (largely dedicated to Prine) should come as little surprise despite its four-year gestation period.

Consisting of five songs, a mixture of covers and originals, it’s a worthy tribute yet, whilst never knowingly rushed, even by Vile’s standards is a languid and laconic affair.
