Three years after the 2015's "B'lieve
I'm Goin Down", Kurt Vile gives us an ode to
travel and love with his new album Bottle
It In. Its songs were recorded all over the USA guiding the musician in new musical directions. The album lasts 75 minutes, with four songs passing the
seven-minute mark;
Kurt Vile takes his time, and his laconic vocal style and expansive guitar playing are ever-present, but cameos from Cass McCombs, Kim Gordon, Mary Lattimore and Warpaint drummer Stella Mozgawa broaden the instrumental palate.

Reverse guitar textures swirl around a classic Vile phrase
on the loping Bassackwards as he reflects:
"I was on the ground circa Planet Earth, but out of sorts".
Lattimore's ornate harp playing and McCombs' backing vocals adorn the 10-minute
title track, while Mutinies finds Vile
lamenting "the small computer in my hand exploding/ I think things were
easier with regular telephones", before Gordon's waves of rich feedback
subsume the outro. A pleasure best savoured, not rushed.
