KJHK music reviewer Logan Gossett sums the release up well: “Never have words and thoughts flown more unabated out of Vile than on his sprawling album b’lieve i’m goin down.”
Neon Indian’s Vega Intl. Night School is sticking around, dropping only to number two. Our top five this week is rounded out by Alex G’s Beach Music, Lettuce’s Crush, and Small Black’s Best Blues.
