Kurt Vile Releases New Album and Chilly Performance Video for Pitchfork’s “Don’t Look Down” Series!

Kurt Vile’s new album Smoke Ring for My Halo drops today via Matador, but you should know that already. And hopefully you’ve heard it by now since it has been streaming at NPR here. It’s The Deli’s March Album of the Month, and you can check out our review to the right or here. Below is footage from a chilly outdoor recording session by Vile and the Violators for Pitchfork’s rooftop performance series “Don’t Look Down”. The video features the songs “Jesus Fever”, “Runner Up”, “On Tour”, and “Ghost Town” from Smoke Ring for My Halo, which was also picked as “Best New Music” by Pitchfork yesterday. Vile will be back in Philly performing on Wednesday, March 23 at World Café Live opening for tour mate Dinosaur Jr.’s J Mascis. Enjoy! – The Deli Staff
