Kurt Vile is releasing Deluxe Daze (Post Haze), a deluxe edition of his latest LP Wakin on a Pretty Daze that will be accompanied by a new EP entitled it’s a big world out there (and i’m scared). Both the deluxe edition and EP will be available on November 19 via Matador. There will also be a limited number of it’s a big world out there (and i’m scared) on red vinyl at his Union Transfer show on Saturday, October 26. You can listen to the track "Feel My Pain" from the EP HERE, and read what Vile had to say about the song below.
This track was recorded during the first cluster of sessions at Dreamland Studios, May 2012. (same sessions that conjured up most of album opener "wakin on a pretty day" I should add!)
"Feel My Pain" is a particularly meticulous guitar composition that i remember playing over and over back when writing it and then even more so when i had finished it, sort-of possessed.
We added a lot to this later only to strip it back again favoring the raw to the chamber-pop this go ’round. Spectral arrangement and a mellow-ominous delivery (if such a thing is possible)…
