Kurt Vile

In December 2017, Kurt Vile participated in the NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert alongside Australian singer-songwriter Courtney Barnett. At this time, Vile was enjoying a successful phase in his career, having released his collaborative album "Lotta Sea Lice" with Barnett just months prior, on October 13, 2017. The album showcased their shared affinity for laid-back, introspective songwriting and featured a collection of original songs and covers that highlighted their chemistry. This live performance exemplified their playful rapport, often marked by humor and spontaneity, which Vile is known for. Additionally, Vile's previous solo work, particularly his critically acclaimed 2013 album "Wakin on a Pretty Daze," had established him as a prominent figure in the indie rock scene, setting the stage for this memorable collaboration.
