Mark Kozelek is an American song writer and singer that I have listened to on and off for years. His Red House Painters helped to create the slow core movement in the nineties. He has gone on to develop and refine his sound through a number of solo ventures and with his current band, Sun Kil Moon. Most of Kozelek's songs take some time to appreciate. At first they come of as simple and atmospheric, but upon repeated listens they reveal themselves. Brilliant lyrics, beautiful melodies, and sincere delivery. His career has many highlights including RHP's Ocean Beach, Sun Kil Moon's Ghosts of the Great Highway and April, and Mark Kozelek's Rock-n-Roll Singer. That's a lot of albums to venture into discovery so a made a list of some of my favorite songs that you could find on most music services.
