Sonic Youth guitarist and longtime fan Kim Gordon said of the album: “Kurt does his own myth-making; a boy/man with an old soul voice in the age of digital everything becoming something else, which is why this focused, brilliantly clear and seemingly candid record is a breath of fresh air… The record is all air, weightless, bodyless, but grounded in convincing authenticity, in the best version of singer songwriter upcycling.”
Vile also released a video for lead single “Pretty Pimpin,” a groovy, bummed out track about feeling alienated from yourself.
