Kurt Vile :: "Hunchback"

I am not always in the mood for slow-form, pissed-off rock and roll. But if I were in the mood for slow-form, pissed-off rock and roll, I would be listening to Kurt Vile's new record Childish Prodigy. Lead-single, "Hunchback" is the head-nodding, after-hours-in-a-bar-with-no-sign-in-a-city-you-barely-know, over-use-of-the-hyphen type of rock and roll. On the surface it's simple, but that's until the sun goes down. This is downtown bar rock. It needs no comparison and it needs no introduction. In fact, it doesn't particularly care for you. So you walk away or you nod along slowly.
