Sun Kil Moon

Artist: Sun Kil Moon



Album: Ghosts of the Great Highway

I learned about it...: From my friend Colleen who sent me the CD

Comments: Some of you may already be familiar with Mark Kozelek's 1990s San Francisco band the Red House Painters, which is said to have influenced numerous later bands, including Minnesota's own Low. Sun Kil Moon is Kozelek's latest project and delivers a melancholy folk-inspired sound with brilliant lyrics. Be sure to check out the band's website at www.sunkilmoon.com and catch them in person if you happen to be in the UK this summer. There were some US tour dates in the South earlier in April, but no other upcoming US tour dates are posted right now.
