In October, Mark Kozelek, better known as Sun Kil Moon, the man behind the contemporary classic album Benji and one of the most remarkable personas in 21st century indie music, will finally perform in Slovenia, just a few weeks before the release of his new album.
American singer and guitarist Mark Kozelek launched his musical career towards the end of the 1980s as the founder of one of the most acclaimed slowcore groups of all time, Red House Painters. Following its dissolution in 2001, he continued making music as Sun Kil Moon, first a band, then increasingly his own solo project. After several excellent albums, for example Admiral Fell Promises and Among the Leaves, Sun Kil Moon released the exceptional Benji in 2014, one of the best albums of the year according to more or less all relevant media – Pitchfork even declared it one of the best 100 albums of the decade so far –, which established Kozelek as the voice of modern folk songwriting.
