The album covers eleven songs by the indie/alternative group Modest Mouse. Ghosts of the Great Highway was re-issued as a double CD in February 2007 on Caldo Verde. The second disc features six bonus tracks, including a cover of "Somewhere" written by Leonard Bernstein. Ghosts tracks ‘Carry Me Ohio’ and ‘Lily and Parrots’ were featured in the Steve Martin film Shopgirl, in which Mark plays the role of a lead singer in a fictitious rock band. His version of Will Oldham’s ‘New Partner’ is included on a CD entitled I Am A Cold Rock, I Am Dull Grass.

The book has eight-years' worth of photos taken by Mark between the years of 2012 and 2019 and captures the decline of the payphone. According to “Ella,” one of the accusers (many of whom used pseudonyms), Kozelek invited her to dinner after meeting at a show in Massachusetts. He then invited her to his hotel room on the basis of wanting to discuss her career as an artist, with multiple assurances that the invite was nonsexual. She then alleges that, once they were in his hotel room, he began undressing and went into the shower. “I feel like our sexual relationship, every encounter was him trying to find another thing he could do, and not in a way where he asks for consent or permission,” she said.

The album was streamed on Kozelek's website before its release date, accompanied by an interview with Mark by Tony Visconti. Other collaborations released in 2017 have included Jesu/Sun Kil Moon 30 Seconds To The Decline Of Planet Earth, and Yellow Kitchen, Mark's collaboration with Parquet Court's Sean Yeaton. On January 20, 2020, Mark Kozekek with Ben Boye and Jim White 2 was released. Confronted Kozelek about his behavior, and he responded by offering to refer her to a therapist. Sun Kil Moon's fifth album, Among the Leaves, was released on Caldo Verde Records on May 29, 2012.
APRIL 2010
Erin Lewis-Fitzgerald had been platonic friends with Kozelek for over a decade when they met up in Melbourne in 2008 while he was on tour. At one point during the day, Lewis-Fitzgerald says Kozelek asked her if she had ever been attracted to or romantically interested in him, and she told him that she hadn’t. Later in the day, she says he asked if he could masturbate in front of her. A month later, Lewis-Fitzgerald shared the story with a friend, who confirmed it to Pitchfork.

After Pitchfork’s first story about sexual misconduct allegations against Kozelek was published in August 2020, the woman who was the subject of the Reddit post understood more clearly what Ella meant in her message to her boyfriend, and contacted her directly to thank her. Ella, who was unaware of whether the meeting ever transpired, says she was “incredibly relieved” to receive the message. Connie C., a locally celebrated singer and cabaret performer in San Francisco, had asked Red House Painters to open for her while the band was finding its feet in the early ’90s, and dated Kozelek briefly in the summer of 1992. In April of the following year, she says, Kozelek invited her to sing with him in a series of radio performances on a publicity tour of Europe. Their romantic relationship had ended, and Connie was engaged to another man, but she and Kozelek remained friendly. He presented the invitation as a gesture of thanks for the support she’d offered early in his career, she says, and promised her she’d have her own hotel room in each city they visited.
RollingStone: Review Sun Kil Moon's 'Common' Is a Stream-of-Consciousness Epic
Sun Kil Moon has supported the album this year with a tour in Australia and New Zealand and will also tour Europe and The USA. The album received positive reviews world wide including Rolling Stone, The London Sunday Times and Rockdelux. On May 11, 2018, Mark Kozelek released his self titled album, Mark Kozelek, on Caldo Verde/Rough Trade. The 88- minute, double CD was recorded in San Francisco hotels and studios between May 2017 and January 2018.
In fact, it was quite some time before I actually listened to the whole thing all the way through. Every morning and evening, driving to and from work, I would start at the beginning, "24" (I know, I know, what more do you need to hear, right? What a song.), but only get about half way through that and whatever the second song on the tape was before arriving home/at 4AD. When I finally did listen to the full 90 minutes I called young Mark K. In 2007, Drummer Boy was released on vinyl as White Christmas & Little Drummer Boy Live as a 4 LP set.

This was all before the Internet, so you basically had what a jewel box told you. It's hard to imagine at this point, but when I first heard them, I didn't know anything about Mark Kozelek, the frontman and mastermind behind the project. I'm not sure I knew his name, and I definitely didn't know what he looked like, or his personality outside of the songs. I also had no idea the band was a quartet, or that they lived in San Francisco (in Kozelek's case, via Ohio). At least for me, Red House Painters existed outside of a scene, too. They had a familiar record label with its own distinct aesthetic, but that was the only real touchstone.
Another Day
The next day, she says Kozelek invited her to travel to the next show with him and his band, which she agreed to; the following night, she alleges, they had a consensual sexual encounter and said “I love you” to each other before Kozelek departed. The start of "24" is nearly silent—gentle minimal guitar before drums come in; it almost sounds like the start of a Codeine track. These songs were demos, and are lightly touched up for the proper 4AD debut, but still sound spare and homemade and thin in the best way (a way that works with the confessional tone of the material).
In 2012, Mark Kozelek released an 18 track album under his Sun Kil Moon moniker, entitled Among The Leaves. Mark toured solo in support of the album and made his debit TV appearance on Fallon performing with The Roots. They featured heartbreaking, personal lyrics and were accompanied by stark, often naturalistic photographs on the covers. The package came with the crystalline, spacious production and Kozelek's clear, powerful voice, and these things merged in an almost mystical way. The material felt less composed or worked over; it was more like the songs were birthed fully formed.
What’s Next to the Moon was comprised entirely of shimmering, melancholy acoustic AC/DC covers from the Bon Scott era. The record was also greatly uncharacteristic of Kozelek in that it is the shortest full length to date clocking in at just over thirty minutes. Even the first Red House Painters album with only six tracks was more than 45 minutes in length. Prior to the release of Old Ramon, Kozelek released a solo seven-song EP entitled Rock 'n' Roll Singer in 2000. The record consisted of three original acoustic compositions with minor full-band arrangements and four covers (three from Bon Scott-era AC/DC, and John Denver's "Around and Around") that further revealed Kozelek's fascination with 1970s classic rock. Six months later, Kozelek released his first solo album, What's Next to the Moon, which was made up entirely of acoustic covers of even more Bon Scott-era AC/DC songs, including re-recorded versions of the tracks that had appeared on the previous EP.
Eventually, the cab arrived, and Anjuli had to “basically push him out the door,” she says. In December of 2008, Mark released The Finally LP, a rarities collection featuring covers of Husker Du, Stephen Sondheim, Kath Bloom, Low, and others. A hardback edition of Nights of Passed Over, a collection of Mark's lyrics originally published in a limited edition in Portugal in 2002, was also released in 2008. The book includes a preface by Mark and a 12-song rarities CD entitled Nights LP.
