THE CLASSIC DOUBLE ALBUM ON LIMITED YELLOW VINYL FOR THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY AS PART OF MATADOR’S 2023 REVISIONIST HISTORY CATALOG SERIES. This 69-minute double album is comprised of sweeping, expansive songs that are both very intimate and conversational. Wakin On A Pretty Daze is a timeless record that would have sounded great 30 years ago, sounds great today, and will still sound great in another 30 years’ from now. Beautifully produced by John Agnello, the record is filled with hazy, swooning guitar lines and dreamy, beatific, and occasionally sardonic vocals. It is summed up by the staggeringly gorgeous 9-minute opener, Wakin On A Pretty Day. The record has other connections to Kurt’s home town. Steve Powers (ESPO), the renowned Philly street artist, painted the cover mural on an abandoned building near the Northern Liberties.
“A beautiful sinkhole of meditative guitar mysticism.” - Rolling Stone
"Kurt Vile’s most spacious, becalmed record yet."
