Mark Kozelek, known for his work with Red House Painters, delivers a unique and captivating experience with his 2001 solo album, "What's Next To The Moon." This album is a refreshing departure from typical rock fare, as Kozelek reimagines AC/DC's high-energy anthems as intimate, slowcore ballads. The transformation is striking, turning hard-hitting rock tracks into gentle, melodic lullabies that showcase Kozelek's distinctive vocal style and acoustic guitar prowess.
With a runtime of just 30 minutes, the album is a concise yet powerful collection of tracks that includes "Up To My Neck In You," "Love At First Feel," and the title track "What's Next To The Moon." Kozelek's ability to strip down these classic rock songs to their emotional core is nothing short of remarkable, offering a fresh perspective on familiar tunes.
Released under the Badman Recording Co. label, "What's Next To The Moon" is a testament to Kozelek's versatility and creativity. It's an album that appeals to both longtime fans of his work and those discovering his music for the first time. Whether you're a fan of AC/DC, slowcore, or simply great music, this album is sure to leave a lasting impression.
