WoW, WoW , Wow Sun Kil Moon/Benji

Sun Kil Moon's new album is really outstanding!!It's Called Benji, and it is on Spotify now if you would like to sample it. I had never really listened to this group, but have now listened to a couple of albums.I also listened to Mark Kozelek previous band called Red House Painters, and their album of the same name , with a 1 following the title from 1993,it is also very good and interesting!!
Benji is STELLAR!! If you have not heard of the album or Sun Kil Moon, enjoy this fine release, and let us know what your impressions are.
Also as I am new to these bands, please let me know what albums are your favorites?
Have you ever seen Mark,or Sun Kil Moon in concert?

Now, a small warning. His songs are long, most over 6 minutes.

From what I have heard of his past albums , Benji is way way stripped down in comparison. His other albums sound way more produced.
I do agree that this album is a masterpiece !
For those of you who like straight ahead singer / song writer folk music ,you should really listen to this gem.

Thanks for the tip. More tips on good music well recorded or streamed are welcome, rather than the focus always on equipment IMO.

Big fan of Admiral Fell Promises LP. Boy it took me a long time to find it on vinyl. Great stuff

My first SKM album was "Ghosts..." Haunting, brilliant, melancholy, memorable. I wish I could find more affordable vinyl of kozolek's music.

Kozolek is the ONLY artist I walked out on after 3 songs. Boring, unenlightened music. His latest, is no exception. Enjoy...
