Sun Kil Moon ist ein Projekt des Sängers Mark Kozelek, der den meisten wohl noch als Kopf der legendären Red House Painters ein Begriff sein dürfte.

Das Debut ‘Ghosts of the Great Highway’ wurde in San Francisco 2002 /2003 mit Drummer Anthony Koutsos (Red House Painters) und Tim Mooney (American Music Club), Seattle bassist Geoff Stanfield (ehem. Black Lab), und einem Streicher-Trio vom Musikkonservatorium San Francisco aufgenommen.

Kozelek scheint einen besonderen Faible für eigenartige Coverversionen zu besitzen. So erschien 2001 das Album „What’s Next to the Moon?“, auf dem der Sänger AC/DC Stücke in gepflegter Singer/Songwriter Manier interpretierte und dieses Glanzstück auf dem 2005 erschienenden Album „Tiny Cities“ ausschließlich mit Stücken von Modest Mouse wiederholte.

Kozelek schrieb nebenbei die Filmmusik zum Independent Film „Last Ball“ und erschien sogar als Schauspieler in Cameron Crows „Almost Famous“.

@Hinduwall. I agree with you about the voice being an instrument that can have an important effect, but it is only one section of a song. The main bit in my opinion is the composition that took planning in one person's mind or a group's. That's really the main artistic/creative element. The performance is secondary IMO. It's not worthless, far form it, but 2ndary. I repeat that I only said I give covers less credit, not no credit. And comparing the two versions of Tiny Cities. This song kinda explains my point about the lyrics working with Isaac's voice. All the lyrics are written with that tongue and cheek that he pulls of in the vocals well because he wrote it.

@donkeydoo: Any partiality you have is an opinion, not a universal truth on the integrity of covers. Consider, for example, Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's popular version of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" -- just as, if not more, resonant. I agree with the plastic-pop musicians part, although remember that the human voice is an instrument; even if the singer does not write the vocal line, there is still much liberty they may take in the tone, expression, delivery and overall feeling. This is why I consider Patsy Cline a good 'artist,' although she wrote nothing of her songs - a vested, powerful singer can easily change a passé song into a relevant one. And lastly, there are plenty of radical differences between these covers and their originals. Your reasoning there is a little oversimplified. Compare the two versions of "Tiny Cities Made of Ashes" and tell me that the two don't strike completely different chords.

"Firstly there's only so much credit you can give to covered music. No matter what, cover songs don't have as much of a personal touch that is specific to the artist who wrote them. It's one of the mains reasons I don't rate plastic-pop musicians because they have no creative talent in that they can't write music/lyrics." Yawn.

I feel like I have to defend Modest Mouse here. Firstly there's only so much credit you can give to covered music. No matter what, cover songs don't have as much of a personal touch that is specific to the artist who wrote them. It's one of the mains reasons I don't rate plastic-pop musicians because they have no creative talent in that they can't write music/lyrics. All that aside, the only difference between tiny cities and MM is that Sun put slightly different acoustic melodies to the original songs. I'm just gonna ignore the guy who thinks that MM's only good song is float on. Lol. That's not even just a difference of taste, it's just total ignorance. Anyway, on a personal level, I much prefer the originals although tiny cities is good to listen to once in a while. The reason being that I find Isaac's lyrics and style fit the subtle wordplays and metaphors in the songs.

Ok, I'll come in with the final say here: Modest Mouse aren't a bad band and have done some decent stuff, but Sun Kil Moon (and Mark Kozelek in general) makes better music and, therefore, the Tiny Cities cd is better than the original versions.

Modest Mouse is great, no way do they "fucking suck" Sun Kil Moon's versions of their songs are great, but the originals are amazing as well

Modest Mouse fuckin' sucks. Save for Float On. But that song's only good because it was playing in a cop's car one time I got arrested.
