The latest album by slow burn sad core band Sun Kil Moon. The band is a vehicle for Mark Kozelek and is basically a continuation of his work with Red House Painters.

Overall Sound: |
9.50 |
| Very clear and bright sound with little or no noise. A pleasure to listen to. | |
Pressing Quality: |
9.50 |
| Mark Kozelek has always had high quality vinyl releases, from the Read House Painters days on 4AD to his latest Sun Kil Moon release. Caldo Verde is his own label. I'm not sure who Vinyl Films are, but like his other releases this is a quiet and very clean record. | |
Vinyl Noise: |
9.00 |
| None. | |
Overall Artwork: |
7.50 |
| Kozelek's cover art is usually fairly monochromatic and this is no exception, a blurry photograph in black and white. It is however pressed on very heavy cardboard with a glossy sheen. Gives the feeling that it will last a long time. | |
Overall Extras: |
7.00 |
| Nice inclusion of audiophile quality inner sleeves but otherwise none. | |

Finn Swingley Hi. I'm Finn. I've been an avid record listener from a very young age, but only started seriously "collecting" records when I discovered they were much more affordable than CDs and... Finn has reviewed 4 other Records. |
