Kurt Vile has returned today with a new in-studio Spotify Singles session. Additionally, the Philly indie rocker has mapped out a fresh set of summer tour dates.
For Spotify, Vile unfurled a stripped-down version of “Loading Zones”, the lead single from last year’s Bottle It In LP. The bigger highlight, though, might be his warm, bluesy cover of “No Expectations”, the 1968 jam from The Rolling Stones.

As for his upcoming live schedule, Vile has added a new run of North American tour dates that run from late July through early September. Stops include New York, Toronto, Baltimore, Providence, and Louisville, and he’ll be joined by Dinosaur Jr. and J Mascis on select dates. Vile’s festival appearances at Pitchfork in Chicago and Montreal’s Osheaga are also part of the itinerary.
