    This sense of loneliness haunts Kozelek's best work, and it's in full force throughout April, arguably the finest album of his career.
  2. The A.V. Club
    91
    April, his third full-length under the Sun Kil Moon moniker, and the first made up of new songs since 2003, easily bears the weight of expectations, proving once again that he really does transcend any slowcore or singer-songwriter tags that have been tossed his way.
  3. Rolling Stone

    The pace can be a problem, but the music is long on understated beauty.

    Wonderful album...rich, deep, not disparate sounding, but varied and adventurous enough to keep interest throughout. What it lacks in the diversity of sound of the previous GOTGH album it makes up for in sheer beauty.… Expand
