5 ...according to our Clinton on 27 November 2006.
Album of the week for me and one I just can't stop listening to is 'Tiny
Cities' by Sun Kill Moon (aka Mark Kozelek from Red House
Painters). A lovely plaintive autumnal album full of sad sad songs. You
would be forgiven for thinking Kozelek's songwriting is back to his
early Red House Painters best until you read the small print. This is an
album of Modest Mouse songs. Well you could have knocked me down with a
feather. Kozelek has a history of making any old shit sound good and
giving it his own spin (remember the Yes cover?)so as with his AC/DC
album it mostly sounds like Kozelek originals. An essential purchase in
fact. I like this so much that I even thought about reaching for those Modest
Mouse albums gathering dust at home.......there again I wouldn't want to
spoil it. On Rough Trade.
