Kurt Vile imagines a ‘Life Like This’ with new video
Songwriter throws shapes in a studio for his new clip.
Kurt Vile has unveiled ‘Life Like This’, the latest track to be lifted from his upcoming album ‘b’lieve i’m goin down…’
The new clip pits Vile in the middle of studio-mode, deep in thoughts as he records the playful guitar lines making up his new record. Animated birds fly round his head, he downs a beer after hitting a writer’s block, and he trips out on a mini Kurt Vile while staring into a bowl of cereal. Who said recording was a boring, painful process?
Matador releases the new album on 25th September. Kurt Vile plays the following UK dates:
NOVEMBER
11 Brighton, Concorde 2
12 London, Electric Ballroom
13 Bristol, Motion
15 Dublin, Vicar Street
16 Glasgow, ABC1
17 Leeds, Leeds University Stylus
