Wakin On A Pretty Daze will endure. Kurt Vile’s painting, his technique made of fingerstyle and tangible coolness, is too material to be spoiled by the patina of time. Certain nights, the radio playing Kurt Vile seems to understand who you are, and the enchanting ten minutes of Goldentone close the album in Harvest territory, in the spirit of the most classic classic.

Straight shoegaze that prefers enchantment to bite, few digressions and many song forms among the best you can find on this side of the Atlantic. The voice... splits - magic - often into very bilindian harmonizations; speaking of the Cocteau Twins, the title track... is the closest thing.
