Vile, Kurt - Childish Prodigy

Philadelphia singer-songwriter KURT VILE(yes, that is his real name) makes his Matador debut with Childish Prodigy. His second album (the first came out on the tiny Gulcher label, vinyl on Woodsist), it is a rich tapestry of rock and folk sounds, occasionally lo-fi, occasionally lustrous, hitting touchstones from Tom Petty to Street Legal-era Dylan to Spacemen 3 to Skip Spence.
