About album of the day: The BestEverAlbums.com album of the day is the album appearing most prominently in member charts in the previous 24 hours. If an album, or artist, has previously been selected within a x day period, the next highest album is picked instead (and so on) to ensure a bit of variety. A full history of album of the day can be viewed here.
This album starts off strong with two of the best folk songs that I've heard in a while. The opening guitar to Baby's Arms is so warm and ethereal. The back half drags along for a bit but this is definitely some of Kurt Vile's best work.
Top tracks: Baby's Arms, Jesus Fever, Peeping Tomboy
"Baby's Arms" is a love song full of such vulnerability.
"On Tour" is one of the best songs about touring ever, and I mean that in a good way.
"Society is My Friend" has such a big, bright sound and its reference to Sonic Youth's "Society is a Hole" makes for such an appropriate statement in our times. A companion piece to "Puppet to the Man."
"Runner Ups" has lyrics i can never quite put my finger on, even though it's probably my favorite track here. Seems to be about pride and a desire to be recognized while always overlooked. So much attitude couched in KV's deceivingly laid-back style.
"Peeping Tomboy" most brilliant acoustic riff ever.
Closer "Ghost Town" manages to make slacker laziness totally epic. F'ing awesome.
