Review: Kurt Vile – God Is Saying This To You…
Kurt Vile – God Is Saying This To You (2009) [Mexican Summer] // Grade: B+
On his second full length album, bedroom Folkster Kurt Vile patches together a sun-drenched tales from a psychedelic nomad. God Is Saying This To You beautifully offsets rustic guitars and melodies against waves of Lo-Fi experimentation that give the album the feel of some otherworldly artifact.
Similar to Neil Young’s Ditch Trilogy and Beck’s classic One Foot In the Grave, Chaos is succumbed by songwriting whose lackadaisical foundation is porous enough to let it flow between the notes, songs and emotions until it cements itself as the glue holding everything at strained sense of solitude.
