Hotel 4
(Partison Hotel/Caldo Verde Records) Release date - May 1, 2018
LIMITED EDITION BOOK
A collaborative publication including Iris Smyles, Nona Fernández,
Bill Callahan, and Mark Kozelek
PRE-ORDER HERE »
Founded around eighteen months ago—and based between London, Belgium and New York—Hotel is a publication, both online and in print, run by a volunteer editorial collective. As a magazine dedicated to new approaches to fiction, non-fiction and poetry, Hotel establishes a foundation for experimental reflection on literature’s status as “art” and cultural mediator.
Collaborators are offered total freedom to present work as they see fit rather than as within the remit of editorial mandate or curatorial consensus. Our masthead, to such an end, is simple: the hotel is our metaphor for the publication, writers come and take a room—do with it what they will—and, for the duration of their stay, the hotel is defined by its inhabitants, defined by the work that takes temporary residence therein. We look for editorial accidents in Hotel, building each issue around the ways in which each of the inhabitants speaks to their various neighbors, and let the work speak for itself.
Hotel #4, our “blue” Hotel, numbers a series of poetic fragments—at turns essayistic and anecdotal—alongside short stories, prose-poems, and conversations that shift in focus from the bible to bible-burning—from the bedroom to bathroom—from the cinema to the shores of Lake Tahoe. Each piece a variation on some kind of blue, each piece harboring some kind of blue intimation.

December 21, 2017
At this time last year, after a final tour date of the year in Rapid City, South Dakota, I made a decision to take a break from touring in 2017. The three previous years were the busiest tour years of my life and it was time to take some time off. It was nice to spend my first summer off, in many years, spending time with my girlfriend and her cat, fishing and visiting friends. But I couldn't and don't know how to stay away from making music. I not only managed to somehow release four albums this year, but also recorded two new records that are in their final stages. Both will be released under the Sun Kil Moon moniker, and are very different albums. One of the albums was recorded in hotel rooms in San Francisco throughout the year, with mobile gear, mostly recorded on a 1960 Fender Jazzmaster guitar. The album was recorded at hotels to take a break from the dark, windowless atmosphere of studios, and to see how atypical recording environments would affect my music. My guess is that the album title and track listing will be announced by February, and I'll likely release the album early next summer.The other album was written during a Sun Kil Moon tour in November of this year, partly recorded in Copenhagen during that tour, and also at Hyde Street Studios in San Francisco after returning home in early December. The lyrics were written on trains and planes between those concert dates and the music was written quickly when we arrived at soundchecks in various cities. The 3 non-original songs on the album include a cover of The Partridge Family's "Come On Get Happy" in honor of the late David Cassidy, a new, amped up cover version of "Rock 'N' Roll Singer" by AC/DC, in honor of the late Malcolm Young (and features Jordan Cook from Reignwolf on guitar), and another track is "Chapter 87" of John Connolly's novel He, set to music. I'm mixing the album in Buffalo, NY, at GCR Studios, as I write this, and will likely release it in early November next year, as the atmosphere of the album is heavily November themed.
In addition to this, I've just signed off on final score work for the beautifully directed James Franco film "The Pretenders."
Though I only did three tours this year, it was great to share the stage with, and/or make music with many wonderful friends and musicians including Steve Shelley, Sean Yeaton, Scott McPherson, Jim White, Ben Boye, Kevin Corrigan, Josh, Rachel, and Petra Haden, Minna Choi, Neil Finn, Nels Cline, Ramon Fermin, Tony Scherr, Chris Connolly, Holly Throsby, Low, Jordan Cook, and many others.
Thank you to Tony Visconti, John Connolly, and Conor Oberst for the interviews. Thank you to Rough Trade and Redeye for their continued support. Thank you Nathan for the hard work. Thank you to all of my friends (many mentioned above, the rest know who they are) for their love, kindness and inspiration throughout the years. A big thanks to my fans who turned up everywhere from Auckland to Chicago to Dublin. At almost 51 years old, and 25 years into my career, I'm still living my dream - and I'm grateful to all of you.
My 2017 favorites list:
Favorite concert: Thurston Moore Group at The Chapel, San Francisco
Favorite book: Goodwood by Holly Throsby
Favorite movie: Snow On Tha Bluff (Netflix)
Favorite TV Series: Dice (Showtime)
Favorite fight: Mayweather vs McGregor
Favorite album: Spain- Live At The Love Song
Happy Holidays to all!

2016 was a beautiful, busy and crazy soap opera of a year, as well as a very prolific time for me. In addition to releasing Jesu/Sun Kil Moon in January, there was also Sings Favorites which is the best album I ever made (according to my dad).This year found me on tour to some extent or another every month of the year. Most of the tours were overseas. It was fun to play outdoor music festivals in Italy and in beautiful venues in the UK, but sad to wake up to terrible news happening back in the USA - mostly in regards to mass shootings.
The only time that I was able to completely tune the news out (and the election saga) was during a 5-day trip to China in late October/early November, where they don't have CNN and my band members didn't have easy access to social media. I found that trip to be the most peaceful of all of the tours we did - and it was only days before the election.
From the summer onward, Trump's face was all over newsstands. The buildup to the election and the shootings made their way into my new album, obviously. As Conor Oberst put it so perfectly at our show in Nashville, "you'd have to have no brain and no soul, for these things to not affect you".
Common As Light And Love Are Red Valleys Of Blood, for the most part, captures events from January to August of this year and how I processed it all while traveling.
Another album was in the works at the same time: the follow up to Jesu/Sun Kil Moon's self-titled debut album. Our second album, entitled 30 Seconds To The Decline Of Planet Earth, will be released on May 5. I'm blessed to have met the very talented Justin Broadrick and to have made these beautiful albums with him.
These two new albums capture more than my reactions to mass murders or the passing of beloved heroes like David Bowie or Muhammad Ali. The Sun Kil Moon and Jesu/Sun Kil Moon albums are also full of love, humor, and my gratitude for the gift of life.
It's been great to share the stage this year with Justin, Steve Shelley, Scott McPherson, Jim White, Low, Conor Oberst, The Murder of Crowes, David J, Ben Boye, Joan Wasserman, Marc Cappelle, The Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir, Minna Choi and Magik Magik, and many other great musicians, as well as countless audience members invited from the crowd to sing songs with us.
On a very personal note, my saddest moments this year were the news of a friend named Butch who passed away in May, and the passing my old friend Dorothy, who was like a grandmother to me.
My happiest moment was pulling ling cod out of the Pacific Ocean with my girlfriend and our peaceful Thanksgiving spent together.
My Favorites list for 2016 -
Concert: Chuck Prophet and Garland Jeffries at GAMH
Fight - Karl Frampton vs Leo Santa Cruz
Book - John Connolly - Parker: A Miscellany
TV series - Divorce
Movie - Green Room
Album (that I heard this year) - Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly
SKM show: Beijing
Jesu/SKM show - Williamsburg
Solo show - Sarah Lawrence College

The List/UK/30 Days Project
"Perhaps songwriters need to look beyond claiming one side of a binary to preach to the converted. From the 30 Songs project, 'The Greatest Conversation in the History of the Universe' by Jesu and Sun Kil Moon remains stunningly transcendent, a twinkling electro-acoustic ballad which pays raw tribute to everything Mark Kozelek loves about America; Lou Reed, Laurie Anderson, Muhammad Ali, the raw multiculturalism of New York. 'If you don't like this song or what I have to say,' he notes, in language Trump might appreciate, 'then fuck off and listen to "bye bye Miss American Pie".' His conclusion, with a ring of truth we should all acknowledge, embraces turbulent reality over self-affirming comfort: 'if you think you took no part in (Trump's) place in this world, then you're fired / because you've not been paying attention and your apprenticeship expired."

Thank You to Mark Kozelek:
Dear Publicist
I hope that you are well.
Not sure that I'm emailing the right person, but last night Mark sang Micheline after I'd shouted it out at the Newcastle gig. I just wanted to say a huge thank you, Benji is one of my favourite all time albums; listened to it endlessly over the past few years. It was an amazing gig, definitely more than "champion"! Please thank Mark for a thought- provoking, emotional, inspiring escape from life!
Many thanks
Louise

Muhammad Ali. People always ask me "if there is a person you could meet, who you've never met before, who would it be?" The answer was always "Muhammad Ali." You were, and will always be, the greatest. Bowie inspired me to sing, Jimmy Page inspired me to play guitar, and you inspired me to be me.

John Connolly - A Time of Torment
April 7 is the publication date for the next Charlie Parker novel, A TIME OF TORMENT , in the UK and Ireland. As usual, Irish readers may see the book in stores a few days before April 7, possibly as early as the end of March. American readers will get it on August 2.
The book is available for pre-order, and John Connolly will be making bookstore appearances in the UK. They are still finalizing tour details — but once again, the fine folks at Waterstones will be selling a signed edition that comes with a CD.

Onward
My condolences to the family, friends and fans of Chris Squire. I've been a fan of Yes since I was a kid and covered Yes' Long Distance Runaround, and later Chris Squire's beautiful Onward, which I can be seen singing in the new film Youth by Paolo Sorrentino. Cameron Crowe and I argued during the movie set of Almost Famous about how he wanted me to play bass with my fingers "like John Paul Jones and John Entwistle." I would tell Cameron "but Chris Squire played with a pick!" Cameron got his way, but my heart filled with joy and melancholy when I saw the premier of Almost Famous and heard I've Seen All Good People from The Yes Album. I'll never forget listening to that one over and over again in an Ohio basement where my love for Yes ignited. Thank you Chris Squire for the beautiful music. I will listen to I've Seen All Good People tonight, over and over. —Mark Kozelek 6/29/15
