In the words of Mark Kozalek, “‘Common As Light And Love Are Red Valleys Of Blood,’ for the most part, captures events from January to August of this year and how I processed it all while traveling. […] I’m blessed to have met the very talented Justin Broadrick and to have made these beautiful albums with him. These two new albums capture more than my reactions to mass murders or the passing of beloved heroes like David Bowie or Muhammad Ali. The Sun Kil Moon and Jesu / Sun Kil Moon albums are also full of love, humour, and my gratitude for the gift of life.”

Features the single “God Bless Ohio” and “I Love Portugal.”
