5th studio album by Sun Kil Moon released on Caldo Verde. The album is much like the previous album by being primarily acoustic Spanish guitar-driven with Kozelek playing and singing, thus continuing the band as his solo project, at least for studio and album releases as Sun Kil Moon still exists as a live band with Jerry Vessel, Phil Carney and Anthony Koutsos. All tracks are written and composed by Kozelek, who seems satisfied by accompanying himself while strumming his guitar. I just long for his more orchestrated compositions like the title track, alas, it stands much alone.
