Kurt Vile details new LP called b’lieve i'm goin down, streams lead single "Pretty Pimpin"

Discussing the album, friend/fan Kim Gordon (yep, that Kim Gordon) said: "Kurt does his own myth-making; a boy/man with an old soul voice in the age of digital everything becoming something else, which is why this focused, brilliantly clear and seemingly candid record is a breath of fresh air. Recorded and mixed in a number of locations, including Los Angeles and Joshua Tree, b'lieve i'm goin down... is a handshake across the country, east to west coast, thru the dustbowl history ("valley of ashes") of woody honest strait forward talk Guthrie, and a cali canyon dead still nite floating in a nearly waterless landscape. The record is all air, weightless, bodyless, but grounded in convincing authenticity, in the best version of a singer songwriter up cycling."

Daniel Henry directed the "Pretty Pimpin" video, which follows Vile as he wanders listlessly and follows himself around.

b’lieve i'm goin down is out 25 September on Matador. He's discussed the record's creation in depth with Rolling Stone and SPIN.

Vile will also tour North America, Europe and the UK this autumn, including a headline show at London's Electric Ballroom.
