Hear A Track Off Kurt Vile's New EP, 'So Outta Reach'

Kurt Vile isn't done with his very good Smoke Ring For My Halo just yet. He's lined up a brand-new EP, So Outta Reach, that  features five tracks from the Halo sessions and a cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Downbound Train." While the tracks were written at the same time as the album, he went back into the studio this summer to rework them.

And judging by its first leak, "The Creature," the EP is sounding like another winner for Vile. It will be released the same day as a deluxe edition of Smoke Ring For My Halo, a two-CD effort that will include So Outta Reach for the price of a single CD. Not bad, right? The EP will be released on its own through digital retailers and as a 12" record.

You can stream "The Creature" at Matador. The deluxe edition of Smoke Ring For My Halo and the EP drop Nov. 8.
