KURT VILE LAUNCHES NEW TRACK
WATCH ‘LIFE LIKE THIS’ VIDEO
b’lieve i’m goin down…
OUT SEPTEMBER 25 ON MATADOR RECORDS
Kurt Vile follows his opening single ‘Pretty Pimpin’ with the downbeat ‘Life Like This’. The second track to be taken from his forthcoming album b’lieve i’m goin down… (out September 25th via Matador Records), it sees the Philadelphia native behind the piano in contemplative mood.
Kurt also stars in the accompanying Adam Avilla-directed video, where he is slowly transported to a dream-like animated world populated by drumming gorillas.

b’lieve i’m goin down… is Vile’s sixth album, and shows Kurt both deeply introspective and briskly self-assured. As longtime fan Kim Gordon wrote about the album: “Kurt does his own myth-making; a boy/man with an old soul voice in the age of digital everything becoming something else, which is why this focused, brilliantly clear and seemingly candid record is a breath of fresh air. Recorded and mixed in a number of locations, including Los Angeles and Joshua Tree, b’lieve i’m goin down… is a handshake across the country, east to west coast, thru the dustbowl history (“valley of ashes”) of woody honest strait forward talk Guthrie, and a cali canyon dead still nite floating in a nearly waterless landscape. The record is all air, weightless, bodyless, but grounded in convincing authenticity, in the best version of a singer songwriter up cycling.”
Here are a couple of interviews Kurt did while recording the album, to get a sense where he’s coming from: ROLLING STONE, SPIN
