Watch Kurt Vile perform “Never Run Away” and “Wakin’ On A Pretty Day” for Radio K sessions

The excitement is palpable for Kurt Vile‘s forthcoming double-LP Wakin’ On A Pretty Daze. There’s the Kurt Vile parade happening this Saturday afternoon at the Fishtown mural bearing his name; there’s the sure-to-be triumphant show at Union Transfer in May; and there’s these two brand new videos that Matador Records shared today. Recorded for the University of Minnesota’s Radio K, hese acoustic, intimate performances of “Never Run Away” and “Wakin’ On A Pretty Day” show that, beneath all the instrumental interplay and heady mixing on the album, there are honest-to-goodness great songs in the mix.
