Folk-Rocker Kurt Vile Announces His Return With A New Album, ‘Bottle It In’

Jo McCaughey

Just a couple weeks after unleashing his latest single “Loading Zone,” Kurt Vile has decided to finally spill all the beans and has revealed the title, cover and release date for his next full-length album. Titled Bottle It In, Vile’s new full-length solo project is set to his the shelves on October 12.

“I’ve been bouncing around a lot and recording all over,” he said in a statement. “My family would meet me in the middle of America, and we’d go on a road trip somewhere. I would record in between all that stuff.” To help him assemble the project, which was largely recorded at The Beer Hole in Los Angeles, with the help of The War On Drugs/Alabama Shakes producer Shawn Everett, Vile also pulled in a variety of different guests, including Kim Gordon and Cass McCombs, as well as Warpaint’s Stella Mozgawa and Mary Lattimore.

To get his fans a little more amped up about the release, Vile has also decided to share an epic, nine-minute long new song called “Bassackwards,” that is said to be the centerpiece of his latest album.

Kurt Vile’s new album Bottle It In is set to drop on October 12 via Matador. You can pre-order it here and cover art and his full slate of upcoming tour dates below.
