Ooohhhhh I love these guys. Anyone who hasn't heard the newest Kurt Vile Record "Smoke Ring for My Halo" sucks. Bluesy and psycdelich, totally original. I've heard people complain about the weird lyrics and singing off key. Those people suck. Sort of has the appeal of Beck's Mellow Gold in terms of lyrical structure, but musically much more brooding and downtroddin. The sounds coming out of Philadelphia are really great now. Between Vile, War on Drugs, and Purling Hiss they could almost give SF a run for its money.
Check out Kurt Viles set from SXSW streaming at NPR
he does a springsteen cover towards the end that is great.
