It's shaping up to be a bountiful year for Mark Kozelek fans. Not only does he have a new Sun Kil Moon album called Universal Themes due on June 2, but he's just announced a box set from his old project Red House Painters. The eponymous Red House Painters will be out on Record Store Day on April 18 through 4AD, though in the U.S. it comes out April 21.
This vinyl box contains Red House Painters' first four albums: Down Colorful Hill (1992), Red House Painters (Rollercoaster) (1993), Red House Painters (Bridge) (1993) and Ocean Beach (1995). Sweetening the deal even further, Ocean Beach comes as a double-LP set that includes 1994's Shock Me EP.
These come on bronze vinyl, with the set limited to 1,500 numbered copies. It can be pre-ordered here. At the moment, however, it's already listed as out of stock.
An announcement notes, "With these records having not been available on vinyl for 20 plus years and now in much demand from fans, this set is destined to become one of the most desirable catalogue items of 2015."
At the bottom of this page, watch a brief trailer video with some images of the set. Also below, see the vinyl tracklists for the four albums.
Speaking of Kozelek, he filled in on guitar for Ben Gibbard at a show last night (February 23) at Noise Pop in San Francisco, CA, since the Death Cab for Cutie frontman had a broken hand. Below, watch a couple of live clips of Kozelek performing with Gibbered.
