I'd got a little bored of Mark Kozelek's music over the past few years, but Benji is a brilliant album.

from what is surely one of the albums of this year - American Folk hasn't been this good since Jackson C Frank

Song of the year, perhaps
This album is indescribably beautiful (unless beautiful is a suitable description...) and I just adore and completely identify with this song. This record reaches the heights of Bill Callahans Dream River. Just wonderful, lyrical, crushing emotion.

Song of the Year. And probably a few future years. Greets to the beautiful Jammee Community around the world. Music is the best. HNY, see you on the flip.

Listening to 'Benji' was probably my first true exposure to Sun Kil Moon. At first I wasn't sure what to think of his stream of consciousness lyrical style. On my first brush, I found it hard to really call it 'song' writing. It was more like a beat poet setting his random thoughts to the strum of a guitar. As I listened further, I realized the thoughts were actually far from random. They are calculated, and frequently found poignancy that few musicians can even dream of. It's a bizarre cocktail, but it comes together better than it has any right to. This is songwriting that requires your attention or you'll completely miss it.
