Bottle It In – Kurt Vile (2xLP)

Following the dusky wandering of 2015's B'lieve I'm Goin Down... and the sometimes cloying 2017 Courtney Barnett collaboration Lotta Sea Lice, restless workingman Kurt Vile looked to his time in transit for his seventh album, Bottle It In (2018). The songs here were recorded over the course of two years in various studios and locations across the U.S., and Vile assembled them between tours and road-trip vacations with his family. That sense of motion touches much of Bottle It In, an album that sees Vile extending his sonic vocabulary with more complex arrangements and drawn-out songs that wash by like changing scenery viewed from the passenger seat.

Besides the singer, there are also some guests on "Bottle It In", for example Kim Gordon, Mary Lattimore, Cass McCombs, Stella Mozgawa from Warpaint, Holly Laessig and Jess Wolfe from Lucius as well as other colleagues.
