Philadelphia based singer songwriter Kurt Vile has been having a breakthrough year in 2011, recently coming off a long tour promoting his second proper full length for Matador Records, Smoke Ring For My Halo (one of our favorite albums this year). The musician, who has garnered comparisons to Bruce Springsteen due to his falsetto and fondness for acoustic driven rock songs, has announced a new EP, So Outta Reach.

The EP will feature five songs that were recorded during the My Halo sessions that did not end up making the cut, including a cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “Downbown Train.” So Outta Reach — which comes out November 8th — will also appear as part of a deluxe edition of the LP, out the same day. Check out and download the first to surface from the EP, a spacious, acoustic ballad called “The Creature.”
