April Image
  • Summary: This is the third album for the group led by Mark Kozelek, who also wrote and produced the album.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 23 out of 25
  2. Negative: 0 out of 25
  1. 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. 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. 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
