Kurt Vile and Luke Roberts Announce New EP ‘Classic Love’ , Share Song

Kurt Vile and Nashville singer-songwriter Luke Roberts have announced a new EP, Classic Love. It’s set to arrive July 25 via Verve. It spans five tracks, including a cover of Beach House’s 2016 song ‘Wildflower’. There are also two versions of the title track, one of which is out today alongside a Lucky Marvel-directed video. Listen to the warm, breezy single below.

Speaking about the track, Vile said:

I always thought “classic love” was the epitome of a song that belonged on the radio. When I heard Luke and Kyle [Spence’s] recording of this (they even got Kyle’s old Harvey Milk bandmate, Creston Spiers to play some on it) it just floored me: like this could be old or new, just a timeless track… I figured the best way I could help it reach the masses was to just get myself up in that track as well and move ‘er through the KV/Verve machine. I believe in Luke so much, and yeah, this song in general has been my and Kyle’s religion for some time. Luke is just a great songwriter, man. Now it can be immortalized in the canon of classic songs! The minute I heard this song, I just wanted to be involved. Love ya, Luke!

Vile’s last release was 2023’s Back to Moon Beach, an EP that clocks in at almost an hour.
