Sore Eros & Kurt Vile

"Jamaica Plain"

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Nov 1, 2013

Ahead of next week's release of Sore Eros (a.k.a. Robert Robinson) and Kurt Vile's collaborative Jamaica Plain EP, the duo have let loose the set's head-swimming title track.

The lo-fi number eases into a gentle arrangement of plaintive acoustic guitar plucking and slide guitar, but later adds a slow-paced drum machine beat, speaker-spiralling keyboard passages and a hint of harmonica to the melancholy melody. It's a intoxicating and dreamy excursion, and you can give it a stream via the player down below.

Jamaica Plain drops November 4 through Care in the Community Recordings.
