Walk into any record store worth its vault in the world right now and chances are they’ll recommend Kurt Vile. A true artist. Been making records and small release albums and 12”s for years. Sounds like… Neil Young backed by Television? Like a Crazy Horse album without hits but every track a killer? Almost like a Frankenstein Meredith artist? He looks like half the crowd from Meredith 1995 .

It’s tender and evocative, elusive but companionable, tough in the gut and the arm but swollen in the chest and giddy in the head. There are actually TWO sunsets at Meredith and this dude’s gonna play the Friday night one. First trip to Oz. Kurt. See.

Kurt Vile has been on a slow burn ascent since 2008, steadily rising from the American underground through relentless touring and the release of four smashing albums. The culmination of this groundwork was this year’s epic Smoke Ring For My Halo (out on Matador and locally on Remote Control) which perfectly showcases the amazing range of Kurt’s music. It’s tender and evocative, elusive but companionable, tough in the gut and the arm, swollen in the chest and giddy in the head. It’s a record that is perfect for any given day in whatever season, to satisfy all moods in every possible scenario, first thing in the morning or last thing at night, today, tomorrow or five years from now.

Philadelphias Kurt Vile can bring to mind anyone from Suicide to Leo Kottke to My Bloody Valentine, Nick Drake and Eastern ragas. Mistletone is proud to be bringing Kurt Vile and his band, The Violators to Australia for the very first time for the 21st Meredith Music Festival, plus national headline dates below.

Mistletone proudly presents How To Dress Well, aka Brooklyn-via-Cologne’s Tom Krell, on his first ever Australian tour. How To Dress Well’s unique brand of reverb-soaked, ethereal, heart-on-sleeve glo-fi comes to Phoenix Public House on Saturday 3rd December, with special guests Oscar & Martin and Wintercoats. Tickets on sale now from Moshtix.

Garnering inspiration from a broad range of artistic, cinematic, philosophical, and musical sources, How To Dress Well is provocative and compelling music. Tom Krell’s disarmingly beautiful vocal lines are as angelic as they are harrowing; his voice seems to swell up out of nowhere, the multiple tracks colliding with each other to form stirring, otherworldly harmonies, overtones, and distortions. Krell’s compositions are abstract and yet unmistakably pop and r&b; an exploration of voice and sound that transgresses typical expectations about song structure to evoke enthralling images of what is left of love after it is broken, and how to find in ourselves those places and moments where love remains.

How To Dress Well has appeared at the Sonar Festival, OFF Festival, Rokslide Festival, London’s XOYO, and completed sold out tours of Europe & North America and headline shows around the world. How To Dress Well is currently signed to Tri-Angle records, recently named the #1 indie label of the year by the American Billboard. Last year’s record Love Remains by How To Dress Well is a shimmering diamond of a release, fusing almost apathetic ambience with emotional intensity and fiercely intelligent production. It’s an understated record that draws on unexpected influences and is somehow simultaneously brutally honest and deliberately opaque. In a live setting, How To Dress Well brings this intensity and emotional ambiguity to the foreground for what is sure to be a spellbinding show.

KURT VILE & THE VIOLATORS: Saturday December 3 @ The Bakery with special guests Split Seconds and The Long Lost Brothers. Tickets on sale from lifeisnoise.com, Now Baking, Heatseeker, 78 Records, Mills and Planet. Presented by Mistletone, Life Is Noise, The Thousands, RTR & Drum Media.
