Biography

Mark Kozelek, known for his work with Red House Painters, transitioned to Sun Kil Moon, showcasing his signature acoustic balladry and introspective lyrics. Sun Kil Moon's debut album, "Ghosts of the Great Highway," continued the melancholic dream pop sound of Red House Painters, with subsequent releases like "Benji" in 2014 receiving critical acclaim for its confessional style. Kozelek's direct and humorous songwriting evolved over the years, culminating in a diverse discography that includes collaborations with artists such as Jesu.

Born in Massillon, Ohio, in 1967, Kozelek's musical journey began with bands like God Forbid and Red House Painters, eventually leading to the formation of Sun Kil Moon. Despite early success, tensions with record labels prompted Kozelek to release solo projects like "Songs for a Blue Guitar" and later form the band Sun Kil Moon. His prolific career includes albums like "Universal Themes" and collaborations with Jesu, showcasing his versatility as a musician and songwriter. Kozelek's unique blend of emotional depth and musical experimentation continues to resonate with audiences worldwide.
