Constant Hitmaker is the debut studio album by American indie rock musician Kurt Vile, released in 2008 on Gulcher Records and Woodsist.

Following the album's release, Vile stated that Constant Hitmaker is "like a best-of, sort of, but leaning toward the psychedelic pop stuff, kind of my later material.

"[2] The majority of the album's tracks are home recordings, however, the album's opening track, "Freeway", was recorded at Miner Street studios with producer Brian McTear.

Vile noted, "We were doing "Freeway" live — me and my buddy Adam at the time — and the live show was going good, and on that version we'd play along to the drum machine and blast guitars.

[...] I'd done home recordings a lot and I was like, ‘I need to go in the studio.’"[3] The song was recorded on July 6, 2006 by Vile, Granduciel and drummer "Cousin" Dan Bower, with Vile noting, "I remember I worked as much as possible to save up for the studio session.

"[4] In March 2022, Vile reflected on the recording process of Constant Hitmaker: "I was working a day job, and I wasn't sure what was going to happen, and there's an urgency there that I kind of think is beautiful and is hard to touch again.

Walking home from my job through the buildings – seeing urban decay and a wide open sky – because the neighbourhood where I live is not in the centre of the city.
