Mark Kozelek's latest Sun Kil Moon record is due out May 29.
In a few months, Red House Painters mastermind Mark Kozelek will return with Around The Leaves , the latest album under his Sun Kil Moon moniker. As Beats Per Minute points out , there's a lengthy description of the new album on the Caldo Verde Records site, which claims that Kozelek mostly recorded the new LP on nylon-string guitar, and that it involves Kozelek "singing playfully." This could be interesting, seeing as how Kozelek is not usually a barrel of laughs. We've got the tracklist below. Read More...

Mark Kozelek will return with the fifth album from Sun Kil Moon , and first since 20102s Admiral Fell Promises , on May 29th Caldo Verde Records.

Desertshore: Drawing Of Threes - While primarily being an instrumental duo from San Francisco, Desertshore 's Drawing Threes adds the talents of Mark Kozelek to the mix.

So while this record has Kozelek moonlighting on 6 out of 10 songs, they're still primarily instrumental... more or [...]

Caldo Verde Records revealed details about Mark Kozelek's next record as Sun Kil Moon today, in which he'll follow up 20102s Admiral Fell Promises with another nylon string guitar-based set: Among the Leaves , 17 original tracks he began recording "impulsively, without second guessing" last fall/winter and completed in January. The most intriguing bit described in the announcement (via BPM ), however, is that the LP is said to display "a more raw and humorous side" of Kozelek's notoriously melancholic style. One scan through the tracklist and a few song titles should give you [...]

And on Desertshore's new album Drawing Of Threes , Carney recruited his former frontman in both of those bands to sing and play bass.

We threw a small end of summer bbq that went long into the night. The last few stragglers that remained into the twilight all gathered around the firepit with a drink, and we started playing my favorite game, one that I love to think I invented. It's basically giving everybody a chance to be the DJ for a song, a mix between a jukebox, and that game where you start telling a story and then the next person finishes. I love ...
