Earlier this week Kurt Vile followed up the most excellent Smoke Ring For My Halo with an EP of tracks which didn't appear on that album, called So Outta Reach. It wasn't quite as good, but that was to be expected. Still Smoke Ring was and is one of the year's finest. Regardless he's just announced a quartet of European dates for next February, two of which are in the UK. Have a butcher's here for specifics. »

We've all had a bit of Jesus Fever in our lives, haven't we? I mean, CHRISTmas wasn't all that long ago now and then there's Easter and countless other public holidays which are all related to the Lord in one way or another. Kurt Vile is getting a bit of the ol' Jesus Fever himself, as that's the name of a track from his new record and a track which he's giving away.»

More details in the future on that one.»
