Kurt VileHi! Here’s the opening track from my upcoming ep… ok, it’s longer than an ep… now I call it a KV comp. The first 6 tracks — which are the ones that fit on a single LP — are new to the world, with one foot in the not-too-distant past and the other with one tiny toe pointing toward the future. Together my feet are like a couple spanning time together. Four songs on this comp were started at Stinson Beach, CA in September 2019 for a few days of recording with Rob Laakso, Stella Mozgawa, Chris Cohen, Cate Le Bon (and Adam Langellotti floating as a fly on the wall as well). Adam and I being the two overseers across this entire endeavor: we finished it on our own (and with some friends along the way). We ended up demonically overdubbing for weeks straight at OKV Central, Philly (my studio)... this was all of May 2023… so many magic moments. Back in 2019 I was obsessed with the modern music of Chris Cohen and Cate Le Bon and it was an honor to simultaneously work with and become friends with both of them at once and for the first time! Others like Rob Laakso and Stella Mozgawa, well, they’re cosmic family to me and we’ve gone to outer space together many times over the years (and whenever we want). Adam Langellotti is a comparatively new member of the family but has been an official member of the Violators since the release of (watch my moves) — but was a recording partner in Philly for the making of that album from start to finish — and I’m just stoked i have a partner to go to outer space with — on the stage and in the studio — (whenever we want!). Farmer Dave Scher is family too from the old days and he rescued some o’ these tunes at Mant Sounds, Los Angeles just a couple days after our beloved Rob Laakso left this earth. Sending lots of love out. The only word is love to see us through. The world is heavy. If this song takes your mind off things for 5 minutes that’s all I can hope for. Give peace a chance. Love, KV Pre-order the ‘Back to Moon Beach’ EP and watch the new music video at the link in bio. #kurtvile #backtomoonbeach #newmusic
