'Philadelphia's been good to me'
the new album out now on Verve Records

[Kurt Vile @therealkurtvile]

Hey! My new album ‘Philadelphia’s been good to me’ is out May 29th on Verve Records. It’s got a never before seen William Eggleston photo on the cover. It’s gotta lotta my band of bros the Violators on there. And it’s gotta lotta my extended musical family up in that… too. It’s beautiful and deep and organic and… we’re gonna come out into the world and play it live for all our sweet fans (that’s right I’m talkin to YOU!). Preorder here: https://t.co/IPKxyfaLIh

Presale starts tomorrow at 10am local times, sign up at https://t.co/6sv7JB2sM7 to get the code. General onsale on Friday at 10am local times.

First single “Chance to bleed” is like some kinda new Hi-NRG (thanks, Jesse!) My boy Tom Scharpling told me that it lit him up like a Christmas tree. He also said it sounds like the song of the summer. I know it’s just the dawn of spring but, sheeit, let’s keep it goinnn 🎶 Big shout out to Winston Eggleston for sending me that special print over the pandemic because it’s been part of my DNA ever since. Flash forward to now… head is cozy in the clouds and it’s on the cover. It’s been a long slow ride and we still floating.

SEE YOU SOON! Love, KV

On the heels of his tenth album, “Philadelphia’s Been Good to Me,” Kurt Vile catches a show at Le Poisson Rouge and reminisces on how Beck and Pavement ignited his passion for live music. https://t.co/jKEtLXBflp

[New York Magazine @NYMag]

Philadelphia rocker Kurt Vile is, naturally, raising some really cool teen girls. They joke that the only times they’ve seen him cry was when Hank Williams died in Ken Burns’s Country Music and when Bing Bong died in Inside Out. https://t.co/HShLiNSLRj

Good morning ! (11:23 am EST)

I’m writing this with my coffee, the most important part of my day, the closest I get to meditation I guess…

My mind is still mushy but my pride is strong (so I’m holdin on!)

Hey!

My new album Philadelphia’s been good to me is OUT NOW up in that world. https://t.co/97o3yYYXt1

Thanks tons to my band o’ bros the Violators for hoofin’ it with me all these years because everyone’s got some extra sparkly, shimmery and shiny moments on this one (Jesse! Check the final instrumental gtr outro at the very end of “avalanches of snow” and you’ll hear the most sparkly Jesse Trbovich gtr ever)

Kyle Spence on the tubs!

Adam Langellotti and Mathew Jugenheimer:
we spent many many hours in the OKV Central zone or was this some kinda 3 year dream?

Extended musical family!
Sarah Jones, Francie and Jon from Florry, Steve Gunn, Rob Laakso, Mikel Avery, Greg Cartwright, Natalie Hoffman, Farmer Dave Scher… so many cosmic besties in the world lived in this one with us.

Makin a kv album is a way of life but I feel like I lived in this one hard starting since early 23 (?) …it’s a blur and I feel like I’m still makin it and that’s the beauty I guess. But it still feels crazy to let ‘er go!

Really excited to come out and play live for all our sweet fans tho, so, sheeit, maybe this is just the beginning (?)

Huge thanks to all the musicians above as well as the rest of the extended crew: Rob Schnapf, Doug Easley, Matt Qualls, Matt Schuessler, Brian Rosemeyer, Jessica Thompson.

Jamie Krents and Oliver everyone at Verve Records!

Rennie Jaffe and Shira for holding my hand thru fkn everything.

Perry Shall! (We got Philly a lot didn’t we?)

And my og life producers (my fam): Zanne, Awilda, Delphine ❤️❤️❤️

So many in my crew I couldn’t do it without.
Love yall too!

I’m gonna have to get deep with production notes later I think, haha

I’m floating too much for now.

Hope you love it!
We put all we had into it (got no choice)

I’ll be talkin lots more later and seein lots of you out soon ❤️ !!!

Because it’s gonna take a lotta LOTTA love…
Love, KV

“This is Frankfurt Ave.,” Kurt Vile said. “If you keep going, you’ll hit the brewery where I used to work. I loaded boxes and bottled beer, Laverne-and-Shirley style.” (via @NYTStyles) https://t.co/RZxPdBKaNQ
