Sweep It Into Space

Sun-drenched melodies meeting signature wall-of-sound fuzz. A polished yet gritty late-career high point featuring Kurt Vile's subtle production touch.

It's the loudest band in the world finally letting a little sunlight into the garage.

A sun-drenched, melodic take on slacker rock that balances aging gracefully with ear-splitting guitar heroics.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The bright, jangling twelve-string acoustic guitar that anchors the lead single I Ran Away.

Lou Barlow's melodic, driving bass lead on the track Garden providing a rare vocal contrast.

The explosive, wah-drenched guitar solo on I Met the Stones that feels like a classic rock fever dream.
