#1458 Kurt Vile - Wakin On a Pretty Daze

A great, crusty, atmospheric album of soulful rock and roll. Despite a solid handful of 7+ minute songs, this never drags - it just lays the pace and you fall into it. Vile's voice, dark and smooth with that hint of grit, carries you through the deep night and too-bright day, all atop that pluck-slide guitar duo that gives you a lane to slip into while traffic falls back or flies by as you choose. Quietly masterful stuff 4/5
