Kurt Vile announces UK tour for the summer

Acclaimed musician, songwriter and producer Kurt Vile and his band The Violators announces a headline tour of the UK and Europe, including an appearance at Black Deer Festival and London’s legendary Koko on Monday 12th June. The Koko show is Vile’s first headline show in London since 2019 and follows the release of his critically acclaimed ninth album (watch my moves) released on Verve Records last year.

The tour will take in eight UK cities, including Manchester and Glasgow before Vile and The Violators head into Europe for a run of shows and festivals.

(watch my moves) was named an album of the year by Uncut, MOJO and The Observer, who described the 15 track collection as “gently psychedelic tunes meandering to just the right places, where Vile’s preternatural serenity felt like a balm.”

Produced by Vile himself with Rob Schnapf, the album features special guests Chastity Belt, Cate Le Bon and percussionists Stella Mozgawa (Warpaint, Courtney Barnett) and Sarah Jones (Hot Chip, Harry Styles). (watch my moves) featured the singles ‘Like Exploding Stones’, ‘Hey Like A Child’, ‘Mount Airy Hill’ and ‘Flyin’ (like a fast train’).

The new run of dates kicks off March 17 in Baltimore, MD.

Published on

Kurt Vile has announced Back to Moon Beach , his new EP out November 17 on Verve. To celebrate the release, Vile has shared its lead single/video, “Another good year for the roses.” In conjunction, Vile has announced 2024 North American tour dates.

Back to Moon Beach is an EP by no one’s definition but Kurt Vile’s. Clocking in at just shy of an hour, this would be a long full-length record by most any other artist’s yardstick; but for Vile, the collection is an expression of just how deep his well of non-album material runs. Following his 2022 album, (watch my moves) , Back to Moon Beach collects new songs, one-offs, covers, and newly reworked versions of beloved tracks.

‘Little Broken Hearts’: How Norah Jones Turned Hurt Into Art

Jack johnson announces ‘all at once sustainability’ winners, preps new track.

It is presented in three ways: a standard vinyl release with six tracks, a digital/CD format with nine tracks, and a deluxe “direct-to-consumer” double-LP with 10 tracks (which includes the only place non-Amazon users can hear Kurt’s cover of Charli XCX’s “Constant Repeat”).

Lead single “Another good year for the roses” is Back to Moon Beach’s opening track, a richly psychedelic downtempo earworm with an instantly memorable arpeggiated piano melody. The song was co-produced by and features Cate Le Bon, and also features Stella Mozgawa (Warpaint, Courtney Barnett). The video features a pastoral scene of Kurt and friends in the woods, jamming out, before he joins a new band made up of actors Kevin Corrigan and Michael Shannon for a show at NYC dive Otto’s Shrunken Head.

Kurt offered a statement on the project, writing, “Hi! Here’s the opening track from my upcoming ep… ok, it’s longer than an ep… now I call it a KV comp. The first 6 tracks—which are the ones that fit on a single LP—are new to the world, with one foot in the not-too-distant past and the other with one tiny toe pointing toward the future. Together my feet are like a couple spanning time together.

“This song was started at Stinson Beach, CA in September 2019 for a few days of recording with Rob Laakso, Stella Mozgawa, Chris Cohen, Cate Le Bon (and Adam Langellotti floating as a fly on the wall as well). Adam and I being the two overseers across this entire endeavor: we finished it on our own (and with some friends along the way). We ended up demonically overdubbing for weeks straight at OKV Central, Philly (my studio)… this was all of May 2023… so many magic moments.”
