Background notes
Archive material and source history
Mark Kozelek was born in Massillon, Ohio in 1967. He formed the indie folk group Red House Painters in 1994, then disbanded them in 1998 to work solo. In 2003, he started using the name Sun Kil Moon and released his first album under that name, 'Ghosts of the Great Highway'.
His songs often deal with love, loss, and personal experience, with lyrics that can feel raw and confessional. He put out albums like 'Admiral Fell Promises' in 2010 and 'Benji' in 2014. Some listeners appreciate the directness in his writing, while others have found it excessive.
In 2014, several women accused Kozelek of sexual misconduct, which led to some tour dates being canceled. Despite that, he has kept recording and releasing music, including songs like 'Bedtime Lullaby' and 'Bad Boy Boogie'.
