Kurt Vile has announced his new album ‘(watch my moves)’.
The full-length was recorded in Kurt’s home studio OKV Central, and is set for release on 15th April via Verve Records. The news arrives alongside new single ‘Like Exploding Stones’, the video for which features Sun Ra Arkestra’s James Stewart.
“When Waylon Jennings became an outlaw country artist, he liked to record at Hillbilly Central, which was Tompall Glaser’s studio,” Kurt explains. “OKV Central is my version of that in Mount Airy. I’ve come into my own here, and at the same time I’m getting back to my home-recording roots.”
“It’s about songwriting. It’s about lyrics. It’s about being the master of all domains in the music,” he adds of the album’s sound. “I’m always thinking about catchy music, even though it’s fried, or sizzled, out. It’s my own version of a classic thing – it’s moving forward and backward at the same time.”
