Kurt Vile: Smoke Ring for My Halo
Aug 24th, 2011 by gcunniff
“Much of Smoke Ring for My Halo sounds like early Simon & Garfunkel with a concussion, but Vile’s blurry psychedelic folk rock is more interested in atmosphere than in messages or wordplay. He’s mastered the tuneful shrug, the song that sounds unfinished and tossed off but sticks fast to your brain and keeps revealing a depth you hadn’t noticed.” –The Boston Phoenix
