Kozelek on Modest Mouse
According to Pitchfork Mark Kozelek will be putting out an album of Modest Mouse covers.
Mark is known for his work in the bands Red House Painters and Sun Kil Moon, but I like his solo stuff best. He has a penchant for covering bands, having released lots of AC/DC covers and a John Denver cover. As I reported he covers Modest Mouse live, including Neverending Math Equation and Tiny Cities Made of Ashes at the Tsunami Benefit at Great American Music Hall.
The album apparently comes out November 1 under Mark’s Sun Kil Moon moniker.
Kozelek is also touring with Alan Sparhawk of Low as the Retribution Gospel Choir. I missed their show at the Bottom of the Hill Tuesday because my plane landed as they went on. If anyone sees them, let me know how they are. I haven’t been able to find many concert reviews online.
