This is the fourth studio album from Philadelphia's Kurt Vile. 'Smoke Ring For My Halo', originally recorded in 2010, shows Vile refining his typical lofi sound. It's a melancholic and somewhat pessimistic record, but the music offers a beautiful backdrop for Vile's introspective laments. The album includes songs like 'Puppet to the Man', 'Ghost Town', and 'On Tour', with a total of eleven tracks. It was released by Matador in 2011/2012. Reviewed by Hank Ohs in 11/2015.
To use this vinyl LP, just place it on your record player's turntable and gently drop the needle onto the starting groove. Make sure your record player is set up correctly and is in good working condition. When handling the vinyl, always hold it by the edges to avoid getting fingerprints on the playing surface, as this can affect the sound quality. After each use, store the vinyl in its sleeve to protect it from dust and scratches. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping. If the vinyl gets dirty, you can use a soft, anti - static brush to clean it in a circular motion. That's it, and enjoy the great music of Kurt Vile!
