New Wax Mark Kozelek of Red House Painters and Sun Kil Moon fame is easily one of my favorite songwriters. His new album The Finally LP culls hard-to-find covers and rarities, most of which appeared on tribute and benefit albums that are no longer available. I recognize the bulk of these tracks but have had some trouble tracking them down, so it's a relief to see them on an official release. Kozelek's original material is filled with introspection and complexity but he's also garnered a favorable [...]
San Francisco local Mark Kozelek , he of Sun Kil Moon and Red House Painters, has a new record (credited as a solo effort) largely of cover tunes coming out entitled The Finally LP . The record drops on December 9th from Caldo Verde Records . Last week's "Gum Drop" over at Stereogum featured a quick interview and managed to finagle a free mp3 out of the deal, a cover of Husker Du's "Celebrated Summer". Kozelek has a pretty solid history of reworking covers (see "Silly Love Songs" and [...]
Two posts in one day is off the charts for us here at Cover Lay Down, but since Heather is already recruiting, and you can only vote once, I thought I'd put in my pitch for voting for Cover Lay Down for Best Music Blog in this year's Gummy Awards over at the uberpopular mp3 blog Stereogum . Ordinarily, I'd never presume we were popular enough to worry about recruiting votes . But Fong wrote to let me know that Cover Lay Down comes up first on [...]

No two ways about it -- I'm pretty proud of those Halloween carving adventure results. First time I ever tried one of those fancy kit things with tracing wheels and all (mine is on the right ), and I still popped the eyeball out of the left eye and had to tape it back on (shhhh, don't tell). Since we always used dull carving knives and grabbed the gooey innards with our bare hands when we were kids, I felt a little out of my element when handed mini saws and ridged plastic scrapers. But what I lack in [...]
Red House Painter , Sun Kil Mooner , CEO of Caldo Verde records, and being the only guy left with his 90's haircut still perfectly in tact. Mark Kozelek is truly a busy man!

There is a new EP available from the perpetually heavy-hearted Mark Kozelek entitled '7 Songs Belfast'...It is available exclusively through his website I believe. Here is a tune off from the EP that is the perfect sort of melancholy from the Sun Kil Moon/Red House Painter mastermind. Mark Kozelek - 'Gentle Moon' MP3
C'est une entreprise éminemment louche, un cambriolage mené par des jaloux trop souvent malintentionnés. Quelques miettes de richesses dérobées puis dilapidées sur-le-champ, sans fierté, sans gloire. C'est autre chose qu'un tribute, qui est une opération de fans pour les fans solidement balisée. Là, il s'agit d'un groupe qui décide d'enregistrer un plein disque de covers d'un seul et unique autre artiste (ou groupe), comme s'il était en croisade extatique. C'est souvent un désastre, de temps en temps une nouvelle porte dérobée ouverte sur un groupe qu'ont pensait connaître par cœur. Un nouvel angle de vue. C'est [...]

Stark favorite Mark Kozelek is still touring behind the excellent Sun Kil Moon record April . He will be playing a solo show at Music Hall of Williamsburg (MHOW) on November 12. Never really one for shows at the Highline, I stayed away from Mark's last NY appearance -- accoring to these comments that was a good plan. Stark will definitely be making it out to MHOW though.

Esta semana fiquei voltei a sentir alguns momentos de melancolia, sobretudo porque me deixei hipnotizar pelo novo álbum 'April' de Sun Kil Moon, também conhecido por Mark Kozelek. Após várias identidades numa carreira com uma duração considerável, desde o ter adoptado o seu próprio nome, a Red House Painters, a covers dos Modest Mouse entre outros, após o fim dos Red House Painters, Mark Kozelek
