Vile, Kurt - Wakin on a Pretty Daze (Vinyl)

Kurt Vile - Wakin on a Pretty Daze (Vinyl)

2013, Double vinyl LP pressing. Kurt Vile is slowly, quietly becoming one of the great American guitarists and songwriters of our time. This 69-minute album is comprised of sweeping, expansive songs that are both very intimate and conversational. Wakin' on a Pretty Daze is a timeless record that would have sounded great 30 years ago, sounds great today, and will still sound great in another 30 years' from now. Beautifully produced by John Agnello, the record is filled with hazy, swooning guitar lines and dreamy, beatific, and occasionally sardonic vocals. It is summed up by the staggeringly gorgeous nine-minute opener.
