Whether working under his own name, with his 1990s band Red House Painters, or with subsequent outfit Sun Kil Moon, Mark Kozelek has never strayed far from his initial stylistic template of melancholy, hypnotic folk rock full of Nick Drake-like acoustic fingerpicking and wistful, honeyed vocals. This remains true on APRIL, the third Sun Kil Moon album, though Kozelek has refined his approach for maximum impact. From start to finish, APRIL is a creature of sadness and beauty--a 74-minute-long sigh, echoing intimate, autumnal whispers (despite the springtime title) into the night. Alternating between delicate acoustic ballads and long, fuzzed-out, Neil Young & Crazy Horse-influenced dirt-road jams (a juxtaposition he's been perfecting since the 1996 Painters album SONGS FOR A BLUE GUITAR), Kozelek delivers a fully matured version of the moody sound he first explored 16 years earlier.
Sun Kil Moon: Michi Aceret (viola); Geoff Stanfield (bass instrument); Mark Kozelek (drums); David Revelli (percussion); Anthony Koutsos.
Personnel: Bonnie "Prince" Billy (vocals).
Rolling Stone (p.83) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he music is long on understated beauty: 'Harper Road' sets Kozelek's stoned croon over mellow guitar-picking..."
Spin (p.104) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Powered by mordant but melodic vocals [and] authoritatively picked guitar....A beautifully depressing array of funereal folk."
Uncut (p.111) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Few chronicle heartbreak with such methodical, forensic attention."
Alternative Press (p.131) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Finger-picked acoustic guitar and Kozelek's echoing, old-soul vocals paint haunting snapshots full of solitary introspection and wistful nostalgia."
Magnet (p.117) - "Will Oldham's ghostly backing vocals add another shade of darkness to 'Unlit Hallway,' and the starkly hypnotic 'Heron Blue' recalls an Appalachian murder ballad..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.103) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]his third Sun Kil Moon album demonstrates Kozelek spinning luminescent textural webs on original compositions which, like the ravishing Moorestown, rank among his very finest." April Review

Purchase April CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Chills Kaleidoscope World CD (1986) (Import) Import; Australia
April album
 $23.75
KALEIDOSCOPE WORLD contains 10 bonus tracks and represents everything the band recorded through early 1986, including all of the LOST EP, and the I LOVE MY LEATHER JACKET/THE GREAT ESCAPE 12"
KALEIDOSCOPE WORLD, The Chills' 18-track compilation culled from The Chills early and mid-'80s EPs and singles, is highlighted by the song "Pink Frost."
The Chills' Martin Phillipps mixes up melodic pop with elements of garage rock and punk, creating songs with a sweet melancholy all their own. Phillipps has always been the focus of the Chills, writing and singing the band's songs. His group has also rivaled Menudo in its sheer number of personnel changes. ...
| | Killing Floor CD (1995) With Book; Limited Edition; Digipak
April CD music
$16.65
The sheer toughness -- and overall derivative -- nature of Killing Floor's debut album, issued six months after Led Zeppelin's debut in 1969 on the Spark label, is a wondrous contrast to the overly slick treatment American blues were given by British artists. All of these tunes, with the exception of one, are revamped versions of songs from the blues canon with different words. The lone "cover" in the set was written by Willie Dixon titled "Woman You Need Love," the tune Zep ripped for "Whole Lotta Love." Despite the fact that this set was issued before by Repertoire, the Akarma version is definitive in that ...
| | Danny Kirwan Second Chapter CD (1975) With Book; Limited Edition; Digipak
April music CDs
$19.79 
The first solo album from Fleetwood Mac singer/songwriter Daniel David Kirwan has the future producer for Human League and Buzzcocks, Martin Rushent, utilizing those skills here, as well as engineering. The sound is crystal clear, and a feather in the cap for Rushent as well as Kirwan. It starts off with an uncharacteristic "Ram Jam City," which has more Lindsey Buckingham sounds than one would expect, especially since the two guitarists come from two different musical worlds. "Odds and Ends" is more lighthearted, the kind of music Paul McCartney toyed with on The White Album's "Rocky Raccoon." What Second Chapter immediately sets forth is the importance of Kirwan as a pop artist, and how, despite Fleetwood Mac's ...
