On November 4, Kurt Vile fans will get the chance to own a previously long-lost bit of the man’s musical past — Jamaica Plain, an EP’s worth of early-aughts collaborations between the Philly longhair and Sore Eros, a former member of the Violators. About a month ago, we were introduced to the beautifully lazy drifter “Serum,” and now we can hear the titular track. “Jamaica Plain” is a wordless piece clocking in at nearly seven minutes and including lots of mournful, sprawling, gorgeous guitar-play, plus a combination of live drums and Casiotone click. Come down from the work week with the lovely number below, via Stereogum.
