What Buurman Baasje is to Sesame Street, Mark Kozelek is to indie rock: a moody loner that many people have a soft spot for. Kozelek is a true workaholic who releases one or two records every year. Sometimes under his own name, sometimes under the name Sun Kil Moon. The permanent Kozelek ingredients are present again on this seventh album by Sun Kil Moon: a tranquil atmosphere, Kozelek's painful
… voice and his idiosyncratic, realistic lyrics. Regarding the latter, a song title like This Is My First Day And I'm Indian And I Work At A Gas Station speaks for itself. Kozelek's universal themes from the album title seem to be loss, melancholy and loneliness. No surprise for the music lovers who have been following Kozelek for some time. (PdK)more
