It's an amazing mix of murk, haze,
clarity, and time-stretching. A 9 minute, 31 second single may
confuse the industry, but "Wakin on a Pretty Day" on Wakin on a Pretty Daze manages to be
the vessel of a Vile that manages to merge the welcome meanderings of
his earlier work with the acoustic immediacy of Smoke Ring for my Halo. The psych-cum-stoner guitar
layers are well-woven in a surprisingly clear track that drifts along
until the end. The album follows suit, and although there seems like
there's so much that could go wrong with this kind of production,
it's refreshing and flows upon its constructed layers and strong
songwriting.
Vile's
lyrics continue to approach weird honesty and cool detachment in
equal measure, he stands high among his grimy peers with
lyrics like, "I'm living all the time thanks 'cause you're mine/
You turn my dying days away/ Each day we carry on like believers and
lovers/ Even though there are others who would rather run away."
What's most remarkable is that someone put out an album in 2013 that
runs 69:03 and isn't a soundscape of pipes clattering in an empty
warehouse. If you have to clean your apartment or drive along a
historic highway, Vile released your soundtrack.
