The previous Sun Kil Moon album "Ghosts of the great highway" is in many respects a much more accessible and conventional album and contains the brilliant openers Glenn Tipton, the wonderous "Carry me Ohio" (the acoustic version is equally immense) plus the greatest song Neil Young never wrote "Salvador Sanchez". April alternatively has a very slow, incremental and meandering quality about it. Mark Kozelek is not going to be rushed. Three songs either exceed or touch 10 minutes and are all the better for it.When I first bought April I played it a couple of times and must admit that that it did seem somewhat repetitive. All great albums however "reveal" themselves to you with the passage of time and perseverance. The subtleties and nuances emerge; quiet background melodies catch your ear and the songs burn deep. Lost Verses is an example. Mark Kozelek has penned one of his greatest compositions here as good as anything by the Red House Painters and matching the brilliant Katy's Song. The lyrics are achingly beautiful as he rises from bed and contemplates leaving a relationship"Came out from under her warm sheetsInto the brisk late OctoberIf only for one last hopeI wanted my time with you to be over"It leads to a journey around San Francisco reflecting on the things that we all deeply care about; family, relationships, nature, the changing seasons and more. Then at 8 minutes the song pauses and turns in a joyful and uplifting guitar solo which is absolutely perfect. Further delights follow with Moorestown, Tonight in Bilbao and the Unlit Hallway which has the god like genius of Will Oldham on backing vocals. Heron Blue has a beautiful guitar work and is almost medieval with its folk underpinnings while the 10 minute "Tonights the sky" has a backing riff that checks Crosby, Stills, Nash and Youngs "Ohio" and charts another broken relationship (Kozelek's speciality) where he discovers "powers unrelenting, that pulled us apart".Ultimately April will not be everyone's cup of tea, try it on Spotify and see whether you like it. Its tone is as wintry as Bon Iver's "For Emma" and its sombre epic ballads are as far removed from the charts as is humanly possible. Mark Kozelek writes music for grown ups, for contemplation and reflection. I suspect he cares not a jot if it sells or not. Indeed "hurrah" that his Caldo Verde record label issues all his work and obcessives may wish to note that there is a epic live album "Lost Verses" which contains most of the best songs from April and "Ghosts" often superior to the album versions. If you want "sun and fireworks" get the superb Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion or Grizzly Bears more thoughtful "Veckatimest". Alternatively on those times when you want to engage both your head and your heart "April" provides a melancholy yet very warm answer. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Full Unmasked Hysteria *by C***Y on 7 June 2008* An underrated music journalist once said: "trying to write about music is like trying to knit a gas jumper" (**** that **** about dancing to architecture).And from an underrated music journalist to THE underrated artist of our time: every week I tune in to Jools Holland hoping Mr Kozelek might be on somewhere between Radiohead and Mary J Blige; every week I'm disappointed, yet not surprised. He'll be on someday and then everyone will kid on they've been digging his stuff since the days of God Forbid.I'm not going to review this (I'm not worthy - you can try if you want to) other than to say I like it a lot...and there's a nice bit of banjo on "Unlit Hallway"...and remind me to seek out an ELP best of. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ CD of 2008 *by D***D on 1 October 2008* In a year of much competition - Bon Iver, Mogwai, Fleet Foxes etc This is the stand out CD for me. Listen to it in the dark with your headphones on and it will transport you to a great place.He mumbles and moans through the songs and somehow it all makes perfect sense - Moorestown and Unlit Hallway are amazing - whilst the guitars on some of the other tracks really lift the album.If you like I see a Darkness, Down Colourful Hill or Bon Iver - you will really love this. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/52763482-april](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/52763482-april) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
