I thought about making the above quote the entirety of this post, but figured I should expand a bit more on this awesome rising star.
Signed to Matador Records in 2009 and hailing from Philly PA, Kurt Vile may just be THE IT artist of 2009.
Though you can't picture him, you may know him as the lead guitarist for the indie act, "The War on Drugs" (Also out of Philly...and also very awesome). Vile also plays with a backing band known as "The Violators"...makes sense if you think about it for a second.
Now you CAN picture him.
His most recent album, "Childish Prodigy" was released early last month and I can't stop playing it. (Seriously, even if you try to stop it, the songs are still going on in your head)
I encourage you to start early on this one...Kurt Vile is poised to take on the universe in the near future.
Here's his MySpace page and some streaming tracks off his newest album, ala YouTueb of course, to wet your palate.
Kurt Vile - "Freak Train"
Kurt Vile - Hunchback
Kurt Vile - Beach on the moon
