The former Red House Painters frontman Mark Kozelek, recording under his Sun Kil Moon alias, has a new album called Among The Leaves coming out in a couple of months. We’ve already posted the absolutely excellent leadoff track “Sunshine In Chicago.” And now, we’ve got another track from the album: “Track Number 8,” which actually appears as track number 11 on the LP. It’s a gorgeous, plainspoken lament about how difficult it can be to write a song. Mark Kozelek should really try becoming a professional blogger; it’ll cure anyone of writer’s block with the quickness.
