Another year goes by and it was... well, definitely different than the last one but still quite weird. The second consecutive Covid year was a rollercoaster ride of emotions where hope and despair went hand in hand and we're surely finished yet. Luckily, this resulted in quite outstanding musical releases which gave us much needed comfort and distraction in these difficult times. Today, we're honouring the fifty records that meant the most to us in the past twelve months.
Nine albums into his career, Kurt Vile shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, his most recent work titled (watch my moves) suggests the contrary with a certain cheekiness hovering over the fifteen carefully crafted, nonchalant songs. NBHAP author Annett caught up with the Philadelphia multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer on his recent stop in Berlin. In a conversation revolving around his adult life and occasional moments of zen, Kurt Vile talks about the benefits of having a healthy routine, the comfort of working in a home studio and the bliss of spacing out.
Every Friday music fans are faced with the same burning question: What to listen to from the pond of countless new albums, EPs and other releases? Well, the people of NBHAP are here to help you with that. Our very own release roundup gives you a brief overview on the music that matters the most this week.
American singer-songwriter KURT VILE is taken us on a trip through his hometown Philadelphia in his latest music video Never Run Away. The track is taken from Walkin On A Pretty Daze, the latest studioalbum by the former member of THE WAR ON DRUGS. A record that is – according to the artist – “just about my life, without thinking too much about it.” Follow the spirit of KURT VILE in his bright video clip right here.
