Kurt Vile - A Girl Called Alex
An Americana type groove number from solo artist Kurt Vile. Combining an unhurried and stripped back feel, this track is from his album 'Wakin on a Pretty Daze'. Released in 2013, it includes a fine bit of feedback during the fade out but the whole thing (well over 7 minutes) takes you on a pretty pleasant journey.
