Kurt Vile is back with his third album on Verve Records. The title "Philadelphia's been good to me" emphasizes his love for his hometown, where he still lives and records most of his music. Musically, the album offers everything fans love about kv: jangling guitars, sweeping instrumental passages and lyrics that are cheeky and sentimental in equal measure. This album shows a musician who, despite his hugely successful career, has remained true to his roots and continues to stand for artistic integrity.
