Here is the track "Freeway" from his last long player. This song was my introduction to his music and is now one of my favorite songs.

Kurt Vile
I photographed Kurt Vile last weekend in Philadelphia, PA for his upcoming release on Mexican Summer records. Below are a few of my favorites from the shoot.

Dub Mix
I had my reggae and dub records out for a Jamaican themed shoot on Monday. Perfect timing for New York's biggest snow storm this year. I figured I'd record some vinyl for a new mix, while I had them out. Enjoy!
Portraits
I've spent the last few years working on an ongoing series of portraits. No Commercial Value editors Amir Husak and Prem Sooriyakumar have thoughtfully curated some of the highlights here. They are housed in the top left box.

Here is what the creators of the site have to say...
"For our week no. 3, we are launching our first installment of theme-based showcases at www.nocommercialvalue.org
This week is dedicated to the art of portraiture.
Portraits have been around for a very long time. The earliest known examples are the funerary portraits of ancient Egypt, which were preserved thanks to the dry climate of the region. Since then, this art form has evolved both technically and philosophically. It is undeniable that the art of portraiture played a global role in how we see and understand each other. Some have manipulated it to seduce the masses and substantiate dictatorial powers. Some have avoided it. Some were obsessed with recontextualizing it. Just think of all the iconic portraits of our lifetime such as those of Che Guevara, Marilyn Monroe, Mao, Lennon, or more recent ones such as Shepard Fairey's widely reproduced rendition of Barack Obama. Portraits remain to be a testament of times and people.
To reflect on this art, we have prepared six boxes of intriguing portraits that range from photographs of rock musicians to video portraits of unusual uncles.
