Next year, Kurt Vile will release a follow-up to 2018 s
Bottle It In, and he ll do so through a new label home. Today Vile announced he has signed with UMG s Verve Records ahead of making his major label debut in 2022.
From 2009 through 2018, Vile released six full-length albums through Matador Records: 2009 s
Bottle It In. I ve admired the Verve logo on the back (and front!) of many a Velvet Underground album since my teens, Vile shared in a statement. In particular the logo on the back of the vinyl boxset of the Quine Tapes has been haunting me for the last several years now. for whatever reason I often find myself staring into it (true story!). So when I was approached by the label to be signed I was surprised and honored to be sure. but I had already felt that subliminal enchantment and I knew it was a, well. sign!
