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...
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. If you happened upon this band like I did and heard Red House Painters all over it, there's a good reason for that: Phil Carney, the guitarist, played guitar in Red House Painters and Sun Kil Moon . So while this record has Kozelek moonlighting on 6 out of 10 songs, they're still primarily instrumental... more or [...]
Two and a half years after my last regular song obsession post I've decided to relaunch the series , this time as an every-two-weeks affair. I just found it was a great way to ask my friends and fellow music fans what they're really obsessing about at the moment. Song obsessions are those songs that get stuck in your head. This series of posts isn't about what I or the other panel members think is best, but what our brain latches onto, those ear worms that loop around and around in your head. [...]
Quello degli Idaho è un nome davvero di culto per l'indie rock americano. Dietro questa sigla c'è il musicista Jeff Martin che in vent'anni di attività ha disegnato pagine per noi notevoli di rock evocativo e filmico. Il nuovo disco You Were A Dick è annunicato dalla Talitres Records e arriva a sei anni dal lavoro precedente del progetto lonsangelino. Le sue composizioni sono paesaggi malinconici che ricordano anche i migliori Red House Painters . Continua a leggere Idaho: dopo sei anni Jeff Martin torna con You Were [...]
It's pointless to pretend that I listened to 10 albums that were released in 2011, so I'm going to write about 10 classic albums that got a lot of airtime in my waxy ears this past year. 10. Peter Murphy - DEEP (1989) The reunion cash-grab tour seems to be here to stay and let's face it... it's hard for me to fight my curiosity. Last month, I saw Peter Murphy for the first time in 13 years-it wasn't a reunion or comeback tour by [...]
I can't believe it's already December! The last few months increasingly have felt as if they were picking up speed, I don't even feel like November happened. That's time i guess. I think you'll be happy with this weeks selection, I know I am and that usually translates well. . . Download: Jesse Payne - [...]
The former Red House Painters/Sun Kil Moon guitarist Phil Carney now leads the band Desertshore, and he's tapped his former boss in both those bands, depression-rock godhead Mark Kozelek, to sing and play bass on new Desertshore album Drawing Of Threes . We've already posted one track from that album, " Mercy ." Now here's another: The similarly crushing six-minute wallow "Diana." Read More...
Desertshore is the band led by the former Red House Painters/Sun Kil Moon guitarist Phil Carney. And on Desertshore's new album Drawing Of Threes , Carney recruited his former frontman in both of those bands to sing and play bass. Below, listen to "Mercy," a prettily downbeat album track that sounds just about right on a rainy Friday afternoon. Read More...
Stream: Desertshore ft. Mark Kozelek: "Mercy" For his sophomore LP with keyboardist Chris Connolly as Desertshore, ex-Red House Painters/Sun Kil Moon guitarist Phil Carney recruited his former frontman to sing lead vocals and play bass for several cuts on the 10-track effort. While the result of their latest collaboration, Drawing of Threes , won't arrive in full until November 22, today you can hear a preview of Mark Kozelek stepping out of the shadows of last year's more subdued SKM record on "Mercy," an understated [...]
If only the album version of this song could have had the same mojo. "Cruiser" is found on the album Old Ramon .

Heirlooms of August è il progetto musicale di Jerry Vessel, ex bassista dei Red House Painters ed attuale membro dei Sun Kil Moon. Collaborano insieme a lui, tra gli altri, Bruce Kaphan (American Music Club) e Anthony Koutsos (Red House Painters). L'album d'esordio della band "Forever The Moon", pubblicato dall'etichetta di Mark Kozelek Caldo Verde lo scorso 21 giugno, è uno dei lavori più intensi e malinconici che potrete ascoltare quest'anno, con brani che rimandano alla migliore tradizione folk britannica e al country-folk a stelle e strisce. MP3 Heirlooms Of August - Marianna's [...]
Heirlooms of August - wat is dat toch een onmogelijke bandnaam. Ik zou achter een dergelijke naam een symfonische band verwachten. Of iets in de gothic-hoek. Maar nee, de man achter Heirlooms of August is Jerry Vessel. Jesse speelde in de Red House Painters en maakte ook deel uit van de live-uitvoering van Sun Kil Moon . Al die jaren aan de zijde van Mark Kozelek hebben hun sporen nagelaten op het debuut van Heirlooms of August. Forever The Moon is somber en introspectief als het beste werk van Kozelek. Opvallend is dat Vessel's vocalen bijna identiek zijn aan [...]
La vida en el camino es sumamente atrayente para aquellos que no hemos tenido jamás la oportunidad de compartir una gira musical pero que siempre soñamos con estar cerca de estos asuntos. De ahí que tener la oportunidad de leer o ver este proceso siempre es interesante, incluso cuando los resultados rompen un poco con la burbuja mágica en la que muchos de nosotros tenemos encerrado todo lo relacionado con la música. Mark Kozelek ha sido, durante casi dos décadas, uno de los nombres más respetados de la escena independiente internacional [...]
Words by Rick Moslen I briefly considered having a Part 1 and Part 2 for this segment. Why? Well your favorite bands showcased their best work on this English label, and a list of thirty-five albums still runs far too short. A speedy mention of 4AD 's 30-year old history recalls the sweat-enduring mystic of the Cocteau Twins or the glacial European folk of Dead Can Dance . You piss your pants from The Birthday Party 's nihilistic insanity, while tears trickle from your eyes when reading Mojave [...]
Mark, Ian, Bobb from Leicester are Sisterland. 'Sisterland occupy a musical territory somewhere between Galaxie 500 and Queens of the Stone Age. Taught single note bass lines lock in tight with the fierce drums, counteracting the spacey, shoegazy guitars and the reverb drenched vocals. This heady mix produces Sisterland's distinctive sound. Sisterland create a new, [...]

HYMNS is a new feature on Forest Gospel. The point is to post about songs that keenly epitomize and create moods, and times, and places. Songs that are formally exciting and emotionally resonant. Songs, basically, that are perfect. We hope to introduce you to new things, but there will be some really obvious, part-of-the-collective-cultura l-consciousness entries, too. Sometimes it's nice to be reminded. Let us know what you think: you know where the comment box is. Red House Painters, "Cruiser" (from Old Ramon [...]
