To those still enduring this harsh and frigid winter, the warm spring and summer months never feel close enough. Fear not! -- they are right around the corner and the folks at Mexican Summer have some splendid new records on deck to warm you (and your turntable) up. The new vinyl and digital only label kicks spring off with some highly anticipated records including Kurt Vile and Valet.
May starts off with Philadelphia native Kurt Vile's new bedroom psyche-pop opus, God Is Saying This to You. Vile's LP is a compilation of tracks from Overnite KV, a tour-only CDR made in conjunction with Kurt’s other project (The War on Drugs), along with a handful of curated jams. Here we find Kurt solo, four-trackin’, and blowing minds with his mix of bluegrass guitar, blazed singer-songwriterisms, and the knowledge of how to balance these contexts out with laidback precision.

Brand new three-song monolith False Face Society by the inimitable Honey Owens, aka Valet, heading back towards the candlelit depths of her first full-length Blood is Clean with these gorgeous crushers. The record is capped off with a stunning cover of “Rainbow,” originally by Boris and Michio Kurihara, and given a treatment no one expected - hand drums and rain stick pounding against a serious groove, and superb fuzz-wah damage.
