In a new interview with SPIN, Kurt Vile discussed the follow up to 2013’s Walkin on a Pretty Daze. Vile says the new LP is being recorded in Brooklyn, Athens and Los Angeles along with an eight-day stay at Joshua Tree’s Rancho de la Luna, the studio that has produced works from the likes of Queens of the Stone Age and Arctic Monkeys.

As far as the tone of the record, Vile says, “there’s a little sad and a little love” along with what he considers to be his best song ever. “At first there were definitely challenges because you want to play live but there’s only this one backroom and everything bleeds into everything else, so essentially I was just playing in this little closet room, but I recorded one of my favorite songs ever,” he says. “Everybody went to bed and I couldn’t sleep. I kept listening and then the sun came up and all of a sudden I just looked around me and I could see everything for miles and I was like, ‘Man, I just recorded my best song ever and I’m here in the middle of nowhere in the most beautiful, mystical, magical desert.’”

Other details, such as release date and track list, have yet to be finalized and the album is expected to arrive something this year.
