Smoke Ring for My Halo

Kurt Vile

A breakthrough of hazy, fingerpicked folk and sun-drenched indie rock. Introspective, unhurried, and perfectly captured in a golden-hour glow.

March 7, 2011 · Matador

A warm, autumnal sadness that feels like a comfortable old jacket you're not ready to take off.

Moments Worth Listening For
the delicate interlocking acoustic guitars on Baby's Arms that feel like a warm embrace
the sudden surge of electric fuzz that disrupts the steady pulse of Society Is My Friend
the vulnerable solo acoustic intimacy of Peeping Tomboy where every string squeak is audible
