Oh bloomin' hell. Can the day get any better? The king of melancholic autumnal songwriting is back. 2008's stunning 'April' set was so deep and dense and sprawlingly gorgeous that it took at least 2 years for the thing to fully sink in. Now out of the blue we have another one to digest. I probably need a week with this to give a full description such is the length and complexity of Mark Kozelek's compositions. Initial impressions are of a much more downbeat, minimalist set with just Kozelek's rich warm dark brown voice and expertly plucked nylon stringed guitar for company. For the uninitiated its superb late night music that's just the pinnacle of lonely low key slowcore songwriting. Comparable to Nick Drake, Jose Gonzales, Low, Bonny Prince Billy. Album of the week for me in this or any other week.
Admiral Fell Promises is the third album of original material, and fourth overall, from Sun Kil Moon. The album is set to be released on July 13, 2010 through Caldo Verde Records. Along with the standard CD release, the album will also be released on vinyl, which includes liner notes and two bonus tracks recorded live in Saint-Malo, France
A live version of the title track previously appeared on Mark Kozelek's 2001 solo release White Christmas Live.
