New Matador signing Kurt Vile is set to release his Childish Prodigy album on October 6. This first glimpse of the album is a stripped-down track that demonstrates Vile’s tender side, which is positioned somewhere between the mournful outpourings of Bon Iver and rock oriented songwriters like Bob Seger and Jackson Browne. His falsetto really soars midway through “Overnite Religion.”
