Sun Kil Moon "Admiral Fell Promises"

Another high recommendation for the forum. This is the new release from Mark Kozelek aka Sun Kil Moon, and quite a beauty. All acoustic (nylon), haunting, hypnotic, and unique... You could hear splashes back in the Red House Painter days but on "Ghosts of the Great Highways" he really came into his own. "April", the last record, was where the real magic happened, already a classic and one of my go to records at all hours. With this new piece you can hear a quiet confidence. There is more guitar work/range but it is overall much mellower. There is a subtle Latin flair to it also...True musical beauty. High quality sonics for us geeks too.

Highly recommended folks!

Okay, you got me. Somehow, I've missed this guy (and Red Housepainters and Sun Kil Moon) entirely (though I've heard OF both these bands, I've never heard either of the bands' music). Would you guys kindly start me off with the best one or two recommendations to get a sense of what they (he) do(es) at both ends of the stylistic range you mention above?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Loomis,

I'll add those RHPs into the Amazon cart and check out if the 2 Sun Kil cds work out for me. I've had pretty good luck to date chasing down the stuff that both you and Richard enjoy, so I expect the chances are pretty good that I'll have a couple of RHPs in hand soon.
