Review

Uncut (p.72) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "'Space Travel Is Boring'...is teased out into a subtly transformative mini epic. He makes equally beautiful work of 'Tiny Cities Made Of Ashes."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.103) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Here, the San Franciscan mope doyen's latest group transforms the corrugated emo-rock of Portland's Modest Mouse into diaphanous baroque folk vignettes."

Title Note

Sun Kil Moon's Mark Kozelek is no stranger to cover tunes, having taken on an entire solo album's worth of AC/DC songs (2001's WHAT'S NEXT TO THE MOON) in addition to various other disparate artists (Yes, Ace Frehley, and the Cars to name a few), while performing under the Red House Painters banner. On TINY CITIES, an unlikely follow-up to 2003's excellent GHOSTS OF THE GREAT HIGHWAY, Kozelek presents eleven spare renditions of Modest Mouse tracks, replacing that indie-rock group's edgy, spazz-pop sound with a delicate, pensive, finger-picked aesthetic. The result is a fascinating record that showcases the quirky narratives of Modest Mouse frontman Isaac Brock while highlighting Kozelek's plaintive vocals, thoughtful arrangements, and formidable interpretive skills.

Editorial Reviews

TOWER.COM REVIEW

Album Review

Mark Kozelek has released six studio albums as frontman for Red House Painters along with three solo records; however, it is with Mark’s new band Sun Kil Moon that he has received some of his greatest commercial and critical success. With Sun Kil Moon, Pitchfork says, Mark is “putting to use a variety of wondrous subtle sonic touches that mark unbelievable artistic growth, unraveling unexplored harmonic territory while staying faithful to his trademark brand of languid folk-rock introspection.” Two years ago, Mark saw Modest Mouse and sensed something original and explosive. The unorthodox songwriting of singer Isaac Brock intrigued him with its fractured, intuitive lyric style and cathartic, rapid-fire vocal delivery. Sun Kil Moon added songs like “Dramamine” to their set list and began work on what would become “Tiny Cities,” a full-length album of Modest Mouse covers released on Mark’s label Caldo Verde. As with his past covers of AC/DC, KISS, Simon and Garfunkel and John Denver, Mark’s aim was to bring attention to the words and sentiments - to reinterpret freely but to respect the spirit. On “Tiny Cities,” Mark slows down Issac Brock’s words to let them breathe without sacrificing their idiosyncratic power. The results bear the singular, hypnotic style that could only come from Mark Kozelek. Digipak.
