It's a Big World Out There (And I Am Scared) is an EP by American indie rock band Kurt Vile and the Violators, released on November 19, 2013 on Matador Records. The EP is the second to be credited to both Vile and his backing band, and is included on the deluxe edition of Vile's fifth studio album, Wakin on a Pretty Daze: Deluxe Daze (Post Haze).
Background and recording
It's a Big World Out There (And I Am Scared) was mostly recorded during the same sessions as Kurt Vile's fifth studio album, Wakin on a Pretty Daze, and includes variations on the tracks, "Never Run Away", "Snowflakes Are Dancing" and "Air Bud". Regarding the track, "Feel My Pain", Vile noted, " stripped-down, ominous folk number, exceptionally meticulous in it's finger-picked arrangement, has since become a favorite of mine for all it’s rawness."
