No sooner has one Mark Kozelek album turned up than, ridiculously, another one is announced. www.caldoverderecords.com claims another Sun Kil Moon album is due January 14 next year, also featuring Steve Shelley, Jen Wood, Will Oldham and Owen Ashworth. In even less a shock, it promises that Kozelek “sings about his childhood years and his life today.”
This week’s playlist, meanwhile, isn’t a match for Playlist 30, and it seems a good time to add one of my regular caveats that this is merely a rundown of the things we’ve played in the office, not things that we’re necessarily endorsing. I think my favourite new arrival is the Kelley Stoltz, at the moment…
