Kozelek Mark
Over the years Mark Kozelek of Sun Kil Moon and his earlier band, Red House Painters, has gained well deserved praise for his extraordinary songwriting. At the same time he has developed a parallel reputation for his unique covers of other people s material. Many of these tracks were recorded for tribute albums that are now unavailable. Caldo Verde Records has now collected them in a cohesive, 10-song LP titled The Finally LP. Highlights include a bluegrass version of “Lazy” by Low, “Bedtime Lullaby” from the children s show Yo Gabba Gabba! and an intimate, acoustic version of Stephen Sondhiem s “Send In the Clowns” recorded for the Minneapolis Bridge Disaster Benefit CD. The album also includes radio show rarities, a previously unreleased version of Husker Du s “Celebrated Summer” and two original instrumentals.
Review
Peter Spark, Readings Port Melbourne
Whilst many artists may cover other artists’ songs on albums, none take the song and make it their own quite like Mark Kozelek. This latest collection includes reworkings of tracks by Husker Du, Will Oldham, and even AC/DC (Kozelek is seemingly fascinated by our homegrown heroes – he has previously released an entire album of AC/DC covers). Everything here is done in the very soft and dreamy fashion that Kozelek has made his signature of late. This is most certainly a welcome addition to his quite large and varied discography.
