With a bit more classical influence Mark makes a very beautiful sounding album recorded mostly as a solo act. Though that means it is some of his most intimate and beaitiful material
Considering who Mark Kozelek is, I feel conflicted on this being a comfort album. In my reviews of his music, I'm not gonna bring it up every time, but just know I don't condone his actions. In saying that, this is one of his rawest albums to date. If you can get past... him... this is a genuinely enchanting listen. Some of his best guitar work ever is on this album, and the songwriting feels very intimate and personal. "Alesund" in particular is probably my favorite song from him.
Nice Folk album from Mark Kozelek's most known project, and like how it is classical guitar influenced.
not to deny it was an interesting and creative project, it was just hard to not get bored of it at half the listen by the lack of variation and diversity in its sound.
