'This Is My Dinner' review: Mark Kozelek at his wittiest and most playful on Sun Kil Moon's sprawling new album
After releasing his moody, contemplative solo album earlier this year, Mark Kozelek is back again to give us a second serving of his brooding, scatterbrain spoken-word style indie folk - this time with his San Fransisco-based folk rock outfit Sun Kil Moon.
Curiously titled 'This Is My Dinner', the album is the ninth for Sun Kil Moon and arrives fresh on the heels of 2017's 'Common as Light and Love Are Red Valleys of Blood'. Although it arrived relatively soon after their previous effort, the new album is not even close to a hurried effort. In fact, it's the quite opposite. Continuing in the tradition of their brooding, contemplative, slow-burner nod-alongs, with 10 tracks that span a whopping 1 hour & 27 minutes, the record has a languid pace, like lazily flitting through a picture book of Kozelek's foggy anecdotes and recollections.
