A few months ago, we reported on rumors that Ernie Ball artists Kurt Vile and Courtney Barnett were teaming up to record a collaborative record together. In June, the two announced a North American tour in support of that record and they recently released a video for “Over Everything” the first single off their much-anticipated album, Lotta Sea Lice, which dropped TODAY. Get it on their website, or listen to it on Spotify.

The collaborative LP from Kurt Vile and Courtney Barnett feels like an overheard discussion between two existential misfits. They sing songs about writing songs, covering each other in the process. – Pitchfork
