Kurt Vile has announced that his new album is called Wakin’ On A Pretty Daze and it is set to be released through Matador Records on April 8th as the follow up to his much loved 2011 album Smoke Ring For My Halo.
There’s not much to tell you about Wakin’ On A Pretty Daze except that it’s set to be 11 tracks clocking in at a hefty 69 minutes. This means an average track length of over six minutes! You can get a taste of this new extended Vile style with the 9 and a half minute opening track “Wakin’ On A Pretty Day,” which is available to stream below or to download from here (right click and save the link).
Beneath the stream for “Wakin’ On A Pretty Day” is a mini-documentary about the making of the cover art for Wakin’ On A Pretty Daze (above) and the track list for the album is beneath, along with Kurt Vile and the Violators’ forthcoming tour dates.
