The Profile

Sun Kil Moon is the American indie folk/slowcore project led by singer-songwriter Mark Kozelek, formed after Red House Painters and active since 2002.

Led by Mark Kozelek. Debut album Ghosts of the Great Highway (2003). Tiny Cities (2005) reimagines Modest Mouse songs. April (2008) and Benji (2014) are among the most acclaimed records. Admiral Fell Promises (2010) emphasizes classical/nylon-string guitar. Releases appear on Kozelek’s Caldo Verde label.

The reviews spotlight Sun Kil Moon’s melancholic, slow-burning songwriting and Kozelek’s unmistakable voice. Ghosts of the Great Highway and April earn high praise; Benji is powerful yet divisive. Admiral Fell Promises highlights a classical guitar turn, while Tiny Cities’ Modest Mouse covers remain debated. A recent live review depicts Kozelek as awkward, talkative, and unexpectedly endearing.
