suchashorttime Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Universal Themes Release Date: June 2, 2015 (Caldo Verde Records) Guitars and vocals by Mark Kozelek. Percussion By Steve Shelley. Recorded in San Francisco, 2014/2015. Additional recording in Hoboken, 2015. CD, Digital available June 2. Limited Vinyl available later in the year. Track Listing: 1. The Possum 2. Birds Of Flims 3. With A Sort Of Grace I Walked To The Bathroom To Cry 4. Garden Of Lavender 5. Cry Me A River Williamsburg Sleeve Tattoo Blues 6. Ali/Spinks 2 7. Little Rascals 8. This Is My First Day And I'm Indian And I Work At A Gas Station So this snuck its way onto Caldo Verde's site. Originally, I wasn't going to make it its own thread, but figured it says vinyl will come so we'll need a thread anyway. I'm pretty stoked for this. wellnow, radiatorhums and BeardedSteven 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Nice! I didn't know he was planning something for this year, I'm excited. Some of those song titles are rather intriguing too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Really wish he would stop releasing an LP and 2 live albums every year and actually spend some time crafting something beautiful like Ghosts, April, Tiny Cities.... esbe and BillyGoat'sGruff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie Crackrock Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Really wish he would stop releasing an LP and 2 live albums every year and actually spend some time crafting something beautiful like Ghosts, April, Tiny Cities.... ooof, Benji is by far the best yet, imo. a lot of the older stuff reminds me too much of Nick Drake. Benji is like that, but with way more Wesley Willis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I am all for Wesley but from a man as talented as Mark I just can't accept "Rock over London, Rock on Chicago.

fish Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I'm thrilled that I don't feel like I'm missing anything not having gotten that The Possum single. That doesn't come out until April. I'm guessing it may be the last 10" of the Vinyl Films series? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got the smell of a Record Store Day release (April, can't order it anywhere yet). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suchashorttime Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Also to be noted, Mark has apparently been in the city directly north of me to record in the past 2 months. He'd be one of the weirdest dudes to have a beer with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelso330 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Also to be noted, Mark has apparently been in the city directly north of me to record in the past 2 months. He'd be one of the weirdest dudes to have a beer with. He doesnt drink, but maybe he'd have some tea (already got weird).... I am not surprised by this as he has been saying he is getting tired of touring and wants to write more songs....I just hope this has a different lyrical style then benji....doubtful! 8 songs seems a little short for Mark unless a lot are like Possum and really long ....?

rooks Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I have liked all of his recent stuff, but nothing comes even close to Admiral Fell Promises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRHews Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Surprised there will be a new LP so soon. Benji was legit tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filthyrich Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 ooof, Benji is by far the best yet, imo. a lot of the older stuff reminds me too much of Nick Drake. Benji is like that, but with way more Wesley Willis. This is probably the most accurate description of Benji yet... And the reason why I can't get into it, despite the glowing reviews. Sorry, when you're taking lyrical cues from the man who wrote (and I quote): "This band played at the Metro/ About 200 people were at the show/ The rock show was awesome/ It whooped a pony's ass/ Hootie & The Blowfish!!!! (repeat 4x)" Not a far stretch from that to "The War On Drugs Can Suck My Cock"... Stravinsky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
