Album Notes & Community Reviews

Arriving during a highly prolific period for the artist, 'Square Shells' is a beautiful, dream-like EP that showcases Kurt Vile's evolving neo-psychedelia and indie folk sound. The six-track record blends warm acoustic-guitar picking with shimmering synthesizer washes and airy, laid-back vocal harmonies. The spacious, lo-fi compositions deliver an unhurried, pastoral, and comforting journey of self-reflection and nostalgic longing.
