I Also Want to Die in New Orleans

Sun Kil Moon

Seven sprawling tracks of diary-entry folk. Mark Kozelek delivers unfiltered, spoken-word narratives over hypnotic, repetitive nylon string guitar patterns.

March 1, 2019 · Caldo Verde Records

A weary, hyper-fixated meditation on the intersection of personal memory and global tragedy.

Moments Worth Listening For
The hypnotic, repetitive guitar motif on 'Coyote' that anchors twelve minutes of wandering observation.
The jarring shift into heavy social commentary during 'Day in America' as the instrumentation remains stoically sparse.
The sheer endurance required for the 23-minute closing odyssey of 'Bay of Kotor' which feels like a life lived in real-time.

How does I Also Want to Die in New Orleans sound next to the rest of Sun Kil Moon's catalogue?

Piano+1.6σ

The instrumentation foregrounds piano notably more than the catalogue usually does.
