My Top Ten Albums of 2017 #5
Three albums for the price of one today, from the most prolific man in music... Mark Kozelek.
5. Sun Kil Moon - Common as Light and Love Are Red Valleys of Blood
More neurotic, sarcastic, confrontational - yet weirdly touching - stream-of-consciousness ramblings via synths, guitar, beats* and jazz**.
(*Particularly on the second album; **particularly on the third.)
5. Jesu & Sun Kil Moon - 30 Seconds to the Decline of Planet Earth
Diary / travelogue / rap / stand-up / confessional or bizarre fringe podcast? The garrulous barfly you don't mind listening to.
5. Mark Kozelek with Ben Boye & Jim White
Breaking boundaries and forcing the question: "Is this music?" It's an acquired taste that soon becomes addictive.***
(***For me, at least. Your mileage may vary.)
More here. And here.
Next: nobody likes him, everybody hates him, but he's never going to eat worms.
Dear Rol
ReplyDeleteI humbly request, in the fullness of time, a Mark Kozelek ICA.
Best wishes

(go on, count the words in the above letter!!)
Dear JC,
