"It's been a crazy f***in year and I've got hundreds of songs and ideas in the can, on paper and in tape recorders all strewn about the 'kv zone,'" Vile wrote. "Nuggets recorded before-and-after pandemic times ... in studios and from home ... music past, present and, yup, we're still rolling. It's gonna be heavy, it's gonna be beautiful ... and it's gonna be out there."
Verve Records is an interesting choice for Vile. Founded by Norman Granz in 1956, the label holds the world's largest jazz catalogue, with recordings from Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Stan Getz and Lester Young. The label is now owned by Universal Records Group.
