Last year Kevin Morby took out the number one prize. This year it's a similar artist and perhaps a similar song. Kurt Vile released another great album in 2015 and one song stood out in particular. It's a song of languid majesty. A song that rambles and shifts and changes shapes. It slowly takes you in and then smothers you in its exquisite beauty. The guitar tones are gorgeous and the shift in tempo just after the 5 minute mark gives me chills every single time. Kendrick, Tillman, Vince, Noah. They all brought it in 2015 but one man claimed the mantle for songwriting.
