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.

He did entitle it "BROOKLYN BOMBERS" say that it is "A SURVEY OF VARIOUS ARTISTS CURRENTLY RESIDING IN BROOKLYN I BELIEVE" and, yes, he did write everything in capital letters.
