Mark Kozelek aka Sun Kil Moon, the lucid author of the contemporary album classic Benji, whose excellent and lengthy show in 2018 took us “from laughter to sadness and much more” (Radio Student), returns to Šiška in September with a new collection of musical stories in his characteristic baritone.
American singer and guitarist Mark Kozelek launched his musical career towards the end of the 1980s as the founder of one of the most acclaimed slowcore groups of all time, Red House Painters. Following its dissolution in 2001, he continued making music as Sun Kil Moon, first a band, then increasingly his own solo project. After several excellent albums, for example Admiral Fell Promises and Among the Leaves, Sun Kil Moon released the exceptional Benji in 2014, one of the best albums of the year according to more or less all relevant media – Pitchfork even declared it one of the best 100 albums of the decade –, which established Kozelek as the voice of modern folk songwriting.
The hyper-productive musician, who released the latest of more than 30 albums, Lunch in the Park, in 2021, proved himself to be one of the “few individuals who can envelop the mundane in the radiance of sensual beauty” (Radio Študent) during his more than two-hour performance in Šiška in 2018. His music is distinguished by lucid, often bitingly honest lyrics bordering on stream of consciousness narration, simple yet accomplished instrumental arrangements, and a characteristic, somewhat haunting baritone. He will pay us another visit in September.
Tickets on sale online and at Eventim outlets.
