nicburto Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I just saw that the new record is available for purchase in mp3 and flac form from the record company tomorrow and you can pre-order autographed copies of the album. http://www.caldoverderecords.com/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aricandover Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I'm not a fan, but I think it's awesome that they're selling the album in .flac format. good for them, I hope more artists/labels follow suit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trevor Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 could not be more excited for this album. paste magazine's review the other day said it's kozelek's best work yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chendizzle Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I'm really excited for this. I haven't listened to any RHP yet or Tiny Cities but Ghosts of the Great Highway is sooo good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

solace Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Full album stream: http://myspace.com/sunkilmoon download isn't working just yet (says out of stock ) sounds absolutely stunning so far Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 "Tonight The Sky" riff = Ohio by Neil Young killer song this album fucking slays. even coming close to being better than Ghosts of the Great Highway seemed next to impossible to me, but so far this thing is off to a great start. edit: fuck... "Like The River" with Oldham on backing vocals... wow Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CortezTheKiller Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 "Tonight The Sky" riff = Ohio by Neil YoungHaven't heard it yet, but Paste called it "Ohio" meets "Like a Hurricane." Sounds pretty tasty to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I could NOT stop listening. Love this! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lynch Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 My wife is tormented now. She pre-ordered the album, and the book and bonus CD yesterday. Needless to say she is a HUGE Kozelek fan. She is seeing him in Minneapolis in June as well. She is torn between listening to the myspace stream and waiting for the arrival in the mail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trevor Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 downloading this as i type. should be done by the time i jump in the shower and jump back out. so pumped. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

solace Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 He may be hit or miss solo, but he's not terrible. I've seen him put on absolutely stellar shows before too. As for a band... i'll believe a full band Sun Kil Moon show when i see it in person, because it's yet to happen yet (i know it's supposedly going to happen later this fall though). As for April... i didn't think it was possible to come close to Ghosts, but so far this most certainly does. how can you say something isn't memorable after listening maybe what, 2 times so far? *shrug* Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will let her judge for herself. "As for the album"? You are reviewing the new one already, after it's been out for about half a day? I can't imagine anything with Kozelek being an instant grabber for someone who isn't a big fan. I am sure it will only get better with age. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trevor Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 for the most part, the album is much more laidback and relaxing than i expected. some pretty intricate guitarwork throughout. isn't as lush as Ghosts was, and so it's a bit of a return to Red House Painters material in that respect. this one's gonna grow a lot, i think...listening to it for the 2nd time now, "Lost Verses" has got to be hands-down one of the best things Kozelek's ever done.
