Kurt Vile announces Back to Moon Beach, his new EP out November 17th on Verve, and presents its lead single/video, ‘Another good year for the roses.’ In conjunction, Vile announces 2024 North American tour dates. Back to Moon Beach is an EP by no one’s definition but Kurt Vile’s. Clocking in at just shy of an hour, this would be a long full-length record by most any other artist’s yardstick; but for Vile, the collection is an expression of just how deep his well of non-album material runs. Following his 2022 album, (watch my moves), Back to Moon Beach collects new songs, one-offs, covers, and newly reworked versions of beloved tracks
Lead single ‘Another good year for the roses’ is Back to Moon Beach’s opening track, a richly psychedelic downtempo earworm with an instantly memorable arpeggiated piano melody. The song was co-produced by and features Cate Le Bon, and also features Stella Mozgawa (Warpaint, Courtney Barnett). This is peak KV, and ‘roses’ shows Vile remains “nothing short of one of the best modern American songwriters” (Uproxx).
“Vile remains our era’s great inheritor of the Neil Young/Meat Puppets/Dinosaur Jr. tradition of bending chords, spooling out hypnotic solos, and chilling with your demons until they start feeling like drinking buddies.” — Rolling Stone
