Kurt Vile: Influences

Kurt Vile: Influences

Kurt Vile's stoner folk reveries channel his classic rock heroes at their most dishevelled (see: the Stones' strung-out “Torn and Frayed”, Neil Young's ambling “Ambulance Blues”), or indie icons at their most slack (Pavement's “Heaven Is a Truck”). But the zoned-out quality of his music taps into more outré sources, like the mystical jazz of Alice Coltrane and the electro-drones of Suicide.
