Kurt Vile Bottle It In

4 stars out of 5 -- "His latest album is funny, moody, mordant and beautiful, capped by ten-minute songs that feel like epic stoner dramas."
"BOTTLE IT IN marks Vile as a scenery-and-horizons rather than quickest-direct-route guy -- both literally and metaphorically."
Paste (magazine) - "The centerpiece here is 'Bassackwards,' a 10-minute tune built around a hypnotic beat and a ever-shifting swirl of backmasked guitars. Lyrically, it reads like a travelogue of Vile's day-to-day life..."
Pitchfork (Website) - "A lot of his lyrics take place in the early hours of the day, those bleary, pre-coffee moments, when nobody else is around, that have always somehow inspired his clearest thoughts."
Clash (Magazine) - "[T]he songs sound almost autonomous, organic, and sprawl out unearnestly....The album's diversity, the way the playful is offset by the slightly plaintive, is one of its strengths."
