Kurt Vile - Wakin On A Pretty Daze Available On Our Store! IDR : 445,000 His attention to detail makes the album’s many styles easier to understand. ‘KV Crimes’ marries Kurt’s slacker vocal with a rock-steady beat full of space – not something you’d usually associate with his music. ‘Pure Pain’ moves between open tuning set to straight 4/4 rhythms and the dreamy shuffle of compound time, and ends up completely glorious. There’s also clarity in the lyrics – some of his most direct yet. In ‘Never Run Away’, Vile finds comfort in marriage, even as he struggles with commitment. ‘Shame Chamber’ explores the guilt that sees him turn away from his reflection in the mirror, while in ‘Too Hard’ he writes about facing his problems, or at least giving it a try. “Comes a time in every man’s life when he’s gotta take hold of the hand that ain’t his, but it is”, he reflects. Mostly, ‘Wakin On A Pretty Daze’ shows Kurt Vile’s determination to make something of that slice of genius he got for free. ‘Was All Talk’ lays it bare: “There was a time in my life when they thought I was all talk”, he sings. “Now I got the upper hand”.
