Pick up a copy of the May 2026 issue of Uncut \u2013 in shops now or available to order online by clicking here<\/a> \u2013 and you\u2019ll find it comes with a fantastic 15-track CD, Songs In The Chest Of My Soul<\/em>, curated by Kurt Vile.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a bunch of songs that inspire me,\u201d explains Kurt. \u201cSome are from friends, and some just hit me. Some are recent, and some are older \u2013 lately I\u2019ve been stuck in the \u201990s with the music I grew up on as a teen. These are all songs that I carry with me in my heart.\u201d Check out the tracklisting below.<\/p>\n

1 Caroline Polachek
Look At Me Now<\/strong>
\u201cI met Caroline in 2017 when we played with John Cale. I knew her band Chairlift a little, and then I got into her solo records. Every time I fly, I play her record Pang, and this track in particular. She has such a beautiful voice. It definitely tugs on your heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

2 Mike Polizze
Cheewawa<\/strong>
\u201cYou can hear me singing in the background of this song, and playing harmonica. This song is short and sweet. Mike Polizze is the best guitar player in Philly. He\u2019s from Purling Hiss, and he really honed his songwriter chops on his solo record Long Lost Solace Find.\u201d<\/p>\n

3 Royal Trux
Waterpark<\/strong>
\u201cWhenever I sing with a snarl in my voice, it\u2019s because of Jenny Herrema. This is her on lead vocals, with Neil Michael Hagerty, who is the best gritty blues rock guitar player. If you want to get pumped up, you play Royal Trux. If you want to get weird, you play Royal Trux.\u201d<\/p>\n

4 King Kong
Scooba Dooba Diver<\/strong>
\u201cKing Kong is Ethan Buckler, who was on the first Slint album but then left the band. He\u2019s a really unique character. His music is primitive, almost like caveman music: very repetitive and hypnotic. This song, \u2018Scooba Dooba Diver\u2019, is really infectious and funny.\u201d<\/p>\n

5 Steve Gunn
The Handshake<\/strong>
\u201cWe grew up together without knowing it. Steve
is from my hometown, Lansdowne, and we\u2019ve both played on each other\u2019s tracks. He\u2019s carrying the fingerpick torch. This is a very hypnotic, psych, fingerpick rocker. I play this one a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n

6 Red Red Meat
Gorshin<\/strong>
\u201cI grew up on Red Red Meat. The whole album, Jimmywine Majestic, sounds crazy, and I go back to it all the time. This song has very slowed-down percussion and Tim Rutili is singing over and over again about scotch and ice. This was the golden age of indie rock.\u201d<\/p>\n

7 Oneohtrix Point Never
Krumville<\/strong>
\u201cI love Dan Lopatin. He\u2019s been killing it lately, doing scores for Safdie brothers films like Marty Supreme. This song is from his album Again and it sounds like future music. I can\u2019t fathom his mind. This is my favourite song of modern times, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

8 The Halo Benders
Virginia Reel Around The Fountain<\/strong>
\u201cDoug Martsch from Built To Spill is in this band with Calvin Johnson, who started K Records. I got this record around when it came out. There are a lot of funny lines about \u2018rub your tummy and shake up your navel\u2019. It\u2019s just an infectious song.\u201d<\/p>\n

9 Jessica Pratt
World On A String<\/strong>
\u201cI love Jessica, we\u2019ve toured together. This song crept up on me. I just love it so much. I was shovelling a lot of snow, listening to this with my head in the clouds. It\u2019s just such a good song,
that\u2019s all.\u201d<\/p>\n

10 Kim Gordon
Dirty Tech<\/strong>
\u201cKim is a good friend of mine, I love her. I always think her records are cool, but this one in particular\u2026 it\u2019s almost like the hip-hop record I always wanted to make. It\u2019s all killer, no filler. Every song is no longer than two minutes. \u2018Dirty Tech\u2019 will get stuck in your brain.\u201d<\/p>\n

11 Viktor Vaughn
Vaudeville Villain<\/strong>
\u201cI love MF Doom. He put out all these indie records under pseudonyms. I read that he said \u2018no hooks, just rapping\u2019 about this album, but it sounds pretty
hooky to me. It\u2019s the best combination of grooves and noisy guitars at times, and his flow is undeniable. It\u2019s such a good album.\u201d<\/p>\n

12 Stress Eater
Giving Back To The Universe<\/strong>
\u201cCzarface is rapper Esoteric and DJ 7L\u2019s group with Inspectah Deck of Wu-Tang Clan. This is from a Czarface side-project called Stress Eater, which features Kool Keith. Esoteric is a great rapper and lyricist, and their songs always have the most interesting combination of sounds. This song really grabbed me. It\u2019s pretty, but it\u2019s deep.\u201d<\/p>\n

13 Sun Ra<\/strong>
Trying To Put The Blame On Me (Live In Rome)<\/strong>
\u201cI love this track. When I got deep into Sun Ra, I ordered this live record from Rough Trade. It\u2019s all instrumental, pretty much, and it\u2019s minimal because he\u2019s by himself. On this one, there\u2019s a guest singer and you can hear him playing and feeding the guy the lyrics. The call-and-response is priceless. It\u2019s just a really good song.\u201d<\/p>\n

14 Sunburned Hand Of The Man
Nimbus<\/strong>
\u201cThis is my tour manager John Moloney\u2019s band. They\u2019re OG DIY guys, and they put out tons of CD-Rs and self-released stuff. This album came out in 2024 and caught me by surprise. This is the opening track and features the respected poet Peter Gizzi. I drove to Massachusetts to see Crazy Horse and listened to this album all the way up.\u201d<\/p>\n

15 Kurt Vile feat Awilda and Delphine Vile
Constant Repeat (Charli XCX cover)<\/strong>
\u201cWhen Charli won an Ivor Novello award, they asked me to cover one of her songs. They knew I was a fan. I got my daughters, who love her, to sing on it. It turned out folky. \u2018Constant Repeat\u2019 was the first song that grabbed me, but I played that whole Crash album on repeat.\u201d<\/p>\n
