Today, Matador Records have shared a full album stream of Kurt Vile's sixth solo studio album, b’lieve i’m goin down.

On the Matador Records website, Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon wrote a very nice review of the album that includes a quote from Kurt Vile about his songwriting process:

I wanted to get back into the habit of writing a sad song on my couch, with nobody waiting on me. I really wanted it to sound like it’s on my couch — not in a lo-fi way, just more unguarded and vulnerable.

The 12-track album spans just a little bit over an hour, and finds Kurt getting in touch with his vulnerable side through his lyrics and music. A range of varied instruments are prevalent on the album, from acoustic, electric, and lap steel guitars to banjos, keyboards, bass, horns, and drums. His 2013 album, Wakin on a Pretty Daze, showed that Vile is a master guitar player. The inclusion of keyboard and piano sounds add to this album's versatility. There's a warm, human side to these songs, which aren't distracting and allow you to immerse yourself in Kurt's storytelling.

Tracks we recommend include "Pretty Pimpin," "Dust Bunnies," "That's Life, tho," "Life Like This," "All in a Daze Work," and "Stand Inside."

b’lieve i’m goin down is set for a September 25, 2015 release, but you can stream the full album above, via Matador. Pick it up on Amazon (Vinyl, CD, MP3).
