Kurt VileThis week, Neon Indian is relinquishing the number one spot on our chart to Kurt Vile. b’lieve i’m goin’ down, Vile’s sixth solo album, sees a continuation of Vile’s lo-fi indie folk sound.

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.
