Bossanova! Chevy Nova!! Yes, dudes and dudettes: major league off-sluffing is back in town!!! Even though the man, like, just sat down on the couch, Kurt Vile’s comin’ back at’cha with his trademark schedule of unbelievably busy laziness. First, on November 8 Matador Records will be releasing a new EP from Vile titled So Outta Reach, featuring six new tracks from this year’s Smoke Ring for My Halo LP that were originally left off that release because of how next-level-tired they sounded (including a cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “Downbound Train”). The semantically exhausted new EP will be released digitally and on 12-inch vinyl.
Then, on November 9, Matador is rolling out the newly repackaged, deluxe double-CD version of Smoke Ring, which, conveniently enough, comes packaged with the new EP. You can preorder any and all of this stuff over at the Matablog, and you can also listen to EP track “The Creature” at the Chocolate Grinder… as soon as you’re able to un-stick yourself from the couch. Stupid dried hummus and honey… whatever, man.
So Outta Reach EP:
01. The Creature
02. It’s Alright
03. Life’s a Beach
04. Laughing Stock
05. Downbound Train
06. (so outta reach)
