By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 11 September 2018

Kurt Vile has announced that he will release a new album, ‘Bottle It In’, next month. The record will feature guest appearances from Kim Gordon, Cass McCombs, Stella Mozgawa and more.

“For a while I was terrified of flying, so [whenever I flew somewhere] I would be listening to whatever country songs I was obsessed with”, says Vile of the inspiration for the album. “I’d have George Jones blasting in my ears. Or, I would be reading something about country music. Or, I would start writing songs in that flash of being afraid, being swallowed by life. I’m up there on a plane drinking wine because like everybody else I’m afraid to die”.

The album will be released on 12 Oct. New single, ‘Bassackwards’, is out now. Watch the video here;
