Admiral Fell Promises

Sun Kil Moon

Ten tracks of solo nylon-string guitar and baritone vocals. A stark, beautiful travelogue that trades band arrangements for intricate classical fingerpicking.

Moments Worth Listening For
The intricate, cascading nylon-string runs on 'Ålesund' that mimic the movement of water.
The sudden, sharp emotional clarity in 'Half Moon Bay' when the guitar pattern shifts into a more rhythmic, driving pulse.
The way the final notes of 'Bay of Skulls' ring out into a long, natural decay, emphasizing the physical space of the recording.
