Reviewed: Sun Kil Moon live at St John’s, Hackney, London, December 3, 2014

Tuesday night, I went to see the War On Drugs guy again. I mention this, in relation to Mark Kozelek and Sun Kil Moon's Hackney show, because Kozelek doesn't stop mentioning it himself for much of the two and a half hour show; a show which, by the by, is one of the very best and certainly most surprising I've ever seen him play.

Sun Kil Moon salute “whitest band I’ve ever heard” in diss track “War On Drugs: Suck My Cock”

Sun Kil Moon's Mark Kozelek has delivered his diss track for The War On Drugs, titled "War On Drugs: Suck My Cock" – click here to listen on Sun Kil Moon's website.

Sun Kil Moon, “Benji”

Sun Kil Moon: “Among The Leaves”

Twenty years of touring and recording, of inspiration and graft for moderate acclaim, and it comes down to this. Mark Kozelek, the pivot of first Red House Painters and now Sun Kil Moon, is engaged in one more slog around Europe. It is not going well.

Sun Kil Moon: “Admiral Fell Promises”

I was looking through an old Red House Painters file a while back, and came across a review of their debut album in which Allan compared Mark Kozelek’s songwriting to that of Dino Valente.

Sun Kil Moon: “April”

Someone from a site called Splicetoday spammed one of my old REM blogs last week, posting a link to an interesting compare-and-contrast piece on both “Accelerate” and Mark Kozelek’s new Sun Kil Moon album, “April”. It reminded me, amongst other things, that I’d been sleeping on the Sun Kil Moon record; that maybe the embracing familiarity of Kozelek’s latest doleful epic had made me take it for granted. Or maybe it was just that I’d been listening to it on one of those moody secure streams, and today a CD arrived.
