Sun Kil Moon’s album Tiny Cities is a cover of Modest Mouse songs and puts a very cool spin on what are now classic MM rock tracks. In Kozelek’s often slow-core style, though, the songs turn into something more ephemeral, really bringing out the undertones of what I think Isaac Brock has always intended for his post (post?) modern angst indie jams.

Compare Kozelek’s covers to the original tracks by Brock and you’ll easily see what I mean.

I goofed– its kil not kill. It was released in 2003 and features Mark Kozelek from Red House Painters. It is an extremely pleasant listen. The style is very laid back, Kozelek’s voice sounds like Bruce Hornsby on Valium. Beautiful songwriting. Check it out.

Rich,
I know all of the bands but one– Sun Kill Moon– please tell us about them and what makes them worthy on your top 20. And no ones laughing about #11…at least I don’t think they are.
