Kurt Vile’s latest (and quite good) album, Bottle It In, is now more than six months old, but the Philly rocker is hardly taking his foot off the gas. Today he offered up his Spotify Singles recording, where he tackled one of his own songs, “Loading Zones,” as well as a classic from The Rolling Stones, “No Expectations.” Performing a cover has become somewhat of a tradition in the series, and Vile’s take on the Stones feels particularly on brand. Gone is the gentle twang of the original, replaced by a somber piano and Vile’s distinct, mournful vocals. Check out the session below.
