KURT VILE / Bottle It In

Nakon prošlogodišnje kolaboracije s Courtney Barnett na Lotta Sea Lice, a tri godine nakon  b’lieve I’m goin down, novi solo album Kurta Vilea opjevana je i odsvirana religija ovog dugokosog indie gurua, a koja glasi “don’t force it”. Sa čak četiri stvari epske duljine od 8+ minuta, album prepun melodija i riječi koje tjeraju na kimanje glavom i blago smješkanje, neovisno pjeva li Kurt u tom trenutku o depresiji, kao u Cold Was The Wind, ili o vječnoj potrazi za parkingom u Loading Zones.

1. Loading Zones
2. Hysteria
3. Yeah Bones
4. Bassackwards
5. One Trick Ponies
6. Rolling With The Flow
7. Check Baby
8. Bottle It In
9. Mutinies
10. Come Again
11. Cold Was The Wind
12. Skinny Mini
13. (bottle back)

Bassackwards i naslovna Bottle It In funkcioniraju kao svojevrsne himne albuma i svih onih trenutaka i stanja toliko bliskih svakom čovjeku; ranjivost, ostavljenost, čežnja, nezadovoljstvo i tuga.

I was on the beach but I was thinking about the bay
Got to the bay but by then I was far away
I was on the ground but looking straight into the sun
But the sun went down and I couldn’t find another one
For awhile

For because it was an all-burning feeling in my chest
To fill the void
Of a long night unwatched by, well, the sun
Until the morn
Until when, well, the sun’s reborn
And so am I
From all the scorn buried deep
Within the psyche of my soul
I was standing down but I was also on the run
In my mind
