Listen up, gumshoes: Kurt Vile, heir to the Villain’s International League of Evil (you know, V.I.L.E.?) leadership, is back at it!
On October 12, he’ll be releasing Bottle It In, his proper follow-up solo album to 2015’s b’lieve i’m goin down…
Bottle It In is 13 tracks long, and features guest contributions from the likes of Kim Gordon, Cass McCombs, Lucius, Stella Mozgawa, Mary Lattimore, and more. If the artwork is to believed, Vile will be playing guitar on the album.
We need to act fast. Quick, decode these two songs from Bottle It In, the previously released album opener “Loading Zones,” and the newly revealed, nine-plus-minute long “Bassackwards.” Then, corroborate your findings with Vile’s upcoming world tour dates, which include a newly announced slate of shows for 2019. That’s all below, along with the full tracklising and artwork for Bottle It In.
There must be some clues in all of this, anything to help us track down Vile and bring him to justice for…stealing the Governor’s medallion….or you know, whatEVER crimes it is the villains commit in the Carmen Sandiego games…
Blech. Okay, time to pull the chute on this rough bit:
Bottle It In is out October 12 via Matador and can be pre-ordered here. I’m sure Kurt Vile is a very nice man who would never steal the Governor’s personal belongings.
