Soft and sombre U.S. songsmith Mark Kozelek delivered his 2012 effort Among the Leaves under his Sun Kil Moon moniker earlier this year, but a pair of newly announced LPs dropping early next year will be released under his given name.
Kozelek's Caldo Verde imprint will issue a new studio set titled Like Rats on February 19 that finds the singer-songwriter tackling songs by a number of his favourite artists, no doubt delivered in his distinct downer fashion. Following a career full of low-key AC/DC, John Denver, Modest Mouse and Kiss covers, this next record diversifies Kozelek's songbook with attempts at Bad Brains' "I," the Misfits' "Green Hell," Genesis's "Carpet Crawlers," and Sonny & Cher's signature tune "I Got You Babe," among other interpretations. You can peep the tracklist down below.
Also arriving on February 19 is Live at Phoenix Public House Melbourne. The self-explanatory live album was recorded in Australia last June, and finds Kozelek performing tunes he issued as Sun Kil Moon and with slow-core greats Red House Painters. You can sample new tune "You Missed My Heart" over here.
While those two records won't arrive until 2013, there's still one more Kozelek-related release to drop in 2012. A two-disc audio companion to last year's Mark Kozelek: On Tour documentary drops November 13, and includes four songs not heard in the film.
