Indie-roki kõige chillim mees Kurt Vile on tagasi värske albumiga Philadelphia’s Been Good To Me!
Neli aastat pärast oma viimast täispikka albumit pöörab Vile pilgu kodu poole kauamängivaga, mis võib vabalt olla tema karjääri parim. See on omamoodi armas ood Philadelphiale, mis on täis nostalgilist igatsust ja sügavat kiindumust. Vile ise kõlab sama virtuoosselt ja muretult nagu alati, kuid samal ajal ka eksistentsiaalsemalt, vaadeldes oma neljakümnendates elu rõõme kui ka konarusi.
Seoseid leiab siit ka meie koduga, sest lool ‘’99th Song’’ on taustavokaalidel enamustele Holy Motorsist tuttav Eliann Tulve! Kokkuvõttes see üks korralik Kurt Vile’i album - vaba vormiga, lopsakas, kulgev, sihitult uitav ning läbinisti ja sügavalt poeetiline. Soovitame soojalt!

Four years after his last full-length release, Vile turns his gaze toward home with a record that might just be the finest of his career. It’s a heartfelt ode to Philadelphia, filled with nostalgic longing and deep affection. Vile himself sounds as virtuosic and carefree as ever, yet also more introspective, reflecting on both the joys and the bumps of life in his forties.
There’s a connection to our own corner of the world here as well: on the track “99th Song,” backing vocals are provided by Eliann Tulve, best known to many as a member of Holy Motors.
All in all, this is a quintessential Kurt Vile album — free-flowing, lush, meandering, seemingly aimless, yet thoroughly and profoundly poetic. Highly recommended!
