Any fans of dude? From what I can tell he's a bit of an asshole, but damn if he isn't one of the best song writers of the last twenty years.
Got into his catalogue again after listening to the new Sun Kil Moon album, Universal Themes. I personally think it's amazing: the diaristic lyrics, the long arrangements (damn near every song is at least 6 minutes), the random production touches, Sonic Youth's Steve Shelley on drums. The lyrics are profound, banal, and hilarious at the same time.
If you need an album to get into Kozelek's work, I'd check out Sun Kil Moon's Ghost of the Great Highway. It's his best work so far IMO. I'd be very surprised if Universal Themes isn't in my top 10 of 2015 when it's all said and done.
