Sun Kil Moon to Tour West Coast Later This Month

Ahead of his May 12 Lost Versus Live release (Caldo Verde Records), Mark Kozelek has announced a geographically-limited series of Sun Kil Moon shows at three modest West Coast venues and one opposite-sized Washington state music festival. A full band will back Kozelek's woebegone vocals.

No word on any new Sun Kil Moon since 2008's April. But, as previously reported, Kozelek's forthcoming live album will feature "Carry Me Ohio" and a SKM-styled "Tiny Cities Made of Ashes" (Modest Mouse) cover.

Discussing the record with Delusions of Adequacy recently, Kozelek said: "It’s true that there’s something happening live that you can’t capture in the studio - but what’s difficult is getting a nice, balanced, good-sounding live recording.  To me, live shows are exclusive to that audience, and that night, and just don’t translate well for multiple, after-the-experience listens."
