“The Sun Kil Moon manifesto is one for angular obscurity with a certain cerebral whimsy. Delivered with such a deadpan manner, Kozelek sounds like he has lost the pan … Somehow it also instils sparkling colour into the playful doom.” – Beat
Sun Kil Moon (Mark Kozelek) announce a return to Australia and New Zealand in May for a very special tour, which will take in a range of iconic theatres, intimate spaces and remarkable, off the beaten path venues. The tour begins Wednesday, May 13 at the recently reopened Espy in Melbourne before making its way to Meeniyan Town Hall, Theatre Royal in Castlemaine, the Thornbury Theatre and then up the east coast to the Lansdowne in Sydney and The Old Museum in Brisbane. Two dates in New Zealand include Tuning Fork (Auckland) Saturday 25th and San Fran (Wellington) Sunday 26th of May.
Sun Kil Moon is utterly unique amongst the folk and rock genres. Sparse yet intense, there is a mesmerizing quality to these introspective musical musings. The atmospheric restraint of arrangements is adored by true music aficionados the world over. This music, so sweeping, intimate and poetic, inspires a unique brand of allegiance and respect. Pulsing and luminous, this is acoustic balladry that transcends narrative, deftly conjuring vivid and dynamic imagery.
Kozelek has announced multiple projects for this year. A new Sun Kil Moon album due out March 1, entitled ‘I Also Want to Die in New Orleans.’ As well as a 6-song full length album featuring artists Petra Haden, Jason Lindner, Kevin Corrigan, Steve Shelley, Donny McCaslin, Ben Boye and “other great talents.”
Take a seat and strap in for over two hours of Sun Kil Moon who is set to deliver an unparalleled, unforgettable live music experience.
Please note. No support for this tour. Sun Kil Moon will be playing a 2.5 hour set at all shows.
