Found in: Music, NewsSun Kil Moon: Among the Leaves
The first time someone showed me Mark Kozelek’s tunes, it was like an audio orgasm. The friend told me, “If you want to seduce someone, put on Sun Kil Moon.” And for the earlier stuff, this is definitely true. Not that I’ve tried. But I have regarded SKM’s Tiny Cities as a standby bachelorette party gift for girlfriends for whom I don’t feel comfortable buying lingerie.

Found in: Music, NewsSun Kil Moon: Admiral Fell Promises
Beautiful rambling For Mark Kozelek, old ghosts die hard. The man behind Sun Kil Moon has always had a complicated relationship with the specters of his past, and on Admiral Fell Promises, he once again mines his memory and crafts an ode to lost loves, death and listlessness. Kozelek is an adept storyteller, always toeing the thin emotional line between hope and hopelessness; even at his brightest, a lingering sadness surrounds him like relentless fog. Admiral’s melodies—most notably on the title track and “Alesund”—are heavy and gorgeous, heart-breaking and breathtaking. Still, they’re marred by Kozelek’s indulgence in instrumental meandering—while it... read more
