This annus horribilis just keeps on giving... Now it's Mark Kozelek's turn to be exposed as a dodgy character, falling off his pedestal with a loud bang. O bother.

Bring Me Out There

I take it you're familiar with Sun Kil Moon by now, but chances are you never got to explore the riches of 'Mad Mark' Kozelek's first band, the Red House Painters. More of a postpunk/Smiths vibe in there, but all the ingredients of the Sun Kil Moon we all treasure today are already in place if you listen closely. Which is well worth it.
