Kurt Vile’s album, Childish Prodigy is full of gems; diamonds of songs he mines from the depths of Americana. The one that keeps on resonating though, listen after listen, is Amplifier.
He nonchalantly drops it near the end of his album, long after the melodies of hits like Overnite Religion have washed over you. It steals your attention from preceding songs, first with a sampled train, which progresses into driving drums that continue throughout the whole song. Those drums, layered with Kurt’s vocal and guitar tones, facilitate the beauty of Amplifier’s wholly organic growth.
