Reviews

Nov 15, 2018

Mark Kozelek reached his half century last year which could cause a period of reflection for some, perhaps slowing down for others. Back for a new Sun Kil Moon record (not the only music he’s released this year) he shows no signs of the latter. As for reflecting on life, that’s a given for Kozelek.
