Kurt Vile's been busy getting reflective about his roots and his place in the musical landscape, which is exactly the kind of grounded artistry that Cledvibes Radio listeners tend to gravitate towards. There's something genuinely interesting about an artist with proper credentials taking stock of where they came from, especially when they're talking about it with real passion rather than nostalgia as a marketing angle. Whether it's collaborating with Fontaines D.C. or receiving a shoutout from Sam Fender, it sounds like Vile's still very much in the conversation and still giving back to the scene that made him. That's the sort of musician we love to feature here.
