Kurt Vile confirms ‘b’lieve i’m goin down…’ album details

After revealing lead single ‘Pretty Pimpin’, Kurt Vile has confirmed full details for his new album ‘b’lieve i’m goin down’.

Out 25th September on Matador Records, this is Vile’s sixth album, following on from ‘Waking on a Pretty Daze’, and it consists of twelve new tracks.

In announcing the album, Kim Gordon has penned her own account of the record.

She says: “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.”
