Kurt Vile

childish prodigy

Borrow It

Being that vocal effects are used across the board, the only surprise here is that Kurt Vile traded in the autotune for the classic 1950's effect known as slap delay. Either way, his voice is drenched in the stuff, slapping off of metal walls as if trapped in a u-haul.

Reminds us of: M Ward | The Rolling Stones | The Jesus and Mary Chain
