Kurt Vile - 'Wakin On A Pretty Day' Performance at Studio K, Minneapolis
Venue: Studio K
Location: Minneapolis, MN, United States
Before the live recording at Studio K, Kurt Vile had released his fourth studio album, "Smoke Ring for My Halo," in 2012, which significantly raised his profile in the indie rock scene. During the live performance of "Wakin On A Pretty Day," which occurred in the lead-up to his 2013 album of the same name, Vile showcased the evolution of his sound, characterized by a blend of warm, melodic instrumentation and introspective lyrics. The recording reflects his transition into a more expansive sonic palette, with "Wakin On A Pretty Day" highlighting themes of leisure and reflection. An interesting fact about Vile is his connection with the band The War on Drugs, from which he originally emerged, contributing to his distinctive sound that melds elements of folk, rock, and psychedelia. This performance not only served as a sneak peek into his upcoming work but also illustrates his growth as a solo artist at this stage in his career.
