Stoner lullaby “Invisibility: Nonexistent” comes from Kurt Vile's upcoming Square Shells EP. Across its seven minutes and change, it floats to very different spaces: The track opens with a drum machine, distorted guitar drones, cleaner strums, and Kurt Vile's spacey, almost awkward vocal intonations before it blasts off (gently) into an extended undulating instrumental. I hear some Spaceman 3 in there, but Vile keeps lacing it with bits of American blues-rock to keep things earthy.
