Sun Kil Moon

"Ali/Spinks 2"

BY Alex HudsonPublished Mar 6, 2015

After the sparse acoustic ballads of last year's Benji, Mark Kozalek has picked up an electric guitar again for Sun Kil Moon's newly unveiled "Ali/Spinks 2."

The song last for nearly seven minutes and sports distorted electric plucking and a cacophonous instrumental break with atonal fretwork. Beyond that, it's not too much of a departure from what fans are used to, since dense poetry tumbles out of Kozalek's mouth with little regard to melody or cadence.
