Kurt Vile and The Violators
Philadelphia artist Kurt Vile is a songwriter of epic proportions, evolving a laid-back yet transfixing psychedelic indie rock sound over a career arc that grew from self-released CD-Rs to major-label releases. Vile takes notes from masters like Neil Young, Sonic Youth, and Dinosaur Jr., exploring inventive guitar tones on meditative and sometimes self-reflective songs that often drift at their own deliberate pace. He co-founded the War on Drugs with friend Adam Granduciel in 2005 but quit shortly after the band got off the ground to focus on his own music.
His blurry-eyed musings and signature songwriting style broke through to a worldwide audience and he continued working with a multitude of special guests on his own records as well as co-creating albums with Steve Gunn and Courtney Barnett.
