Prolific singer/songwriter (and great guitarist) from Philadelphia, PA who has already released three full length albums in just two short years. His first real album, Constant Hitmaker (Woodsist Records), has a nice lo-fi recording quality complete with echo-y vocals, fuzzed out guitars and plenty of tape-hiss, all the hallmarks of a great bedroom recording. On the new one, Childish Prodigy (Matador Records), Kurt is backed by a real band (The Violaters) and it is his most polished release yet. Kurt's voice sounds like a young Lou Reed here, and musically it isn't too far from a modern spin on the great 70's singer/songwriters ala Springsteen and Petty, plus this dude has the best name in rock.
