Free Music Notes for Childish Prodigy
Free Music Review: VILE IS SPECTACULAR
Hit: 5 Stars
Specifically, I'd place Childish Prodigy in the same vein as Pete Yorn and Jeff Buckley, with the lyrical style of Bob Dylan and vocals resembling Iggy Pop and Lou Reed.
Nonetheless, this album refreshingly strays from the cookie-cutter studio sound that most bands in the "indie" category tend to produce.
Opening track "Hunchback" is the perfect preview for what's to come; a mix of menacing, distorted guitars aligned with different patterns of percussion and keys.
"Blackberry Song" is the perfect, bittersweet driving tune, while "Monkey" reflects why many have compared Vile to Tom Petty, although the keys and structure of this song remind me of tracks by Oasis and The Verve.

Childish Prodigy Poster
Philadelphia singer-songwriter KURT VILE (yes, that is his real name) makes his Matador debut with "Childish Prodigy." His second album (the first came out on the tiny Gulcher label, vinyl on Woodsist), it is a rich tapestry of rock and folk sounds, occasionally lo-fi, occasionally lustrous, hitting touchstones from Tom Petty to Street Legal-era Dylan to Spacemen 3 to Skip Spence. "Childish Prodigy" is more diverse than its predecessor, and ranges from pounding rockers like "Hunchabck" and "Freak Train" to gorgeous folky numbers like "Overnight Religion" and the soaring trumpet in "Amplifier." This is an absorbing and addictive record with layers and layers of discovery.Alternative Rock Music CDs
