Kurt Vile – “KV Crimes” Video

Kurt Vile has already pulled off the near-impossibly feat of making a Philadelphia accent sound cool, and now he seems determined to do the same with the rest of his hometown. In director Tom Scharpling‘s new clip for “KV Crimes” — after “Never Run Away,” the second great video that Vile’s excellent new album Wakin On A Pretty Daze has yielded — Vile parades through town in a plastic crown on a cardboard Renn Faire throne. He bestows golden guitar picks upon little kids and feasts on hoagies on silver platters, and he generally comes off like his city’s new Fresh Prince.
