Apparently an effort is being made by those with an agenda to renew and recirculate the same kinds of false allegations and innuendo that were the subject of my prior statement in August 2020. I continue to categorically deny that I engaged in the inappropriate incidents falsely depicted in the media. I intend to vigorously defend myself against these untruthful allegations and to pursue and protect my rights in the event that false and defamatory statements are further disseminated or published.

It is important that I publicly and unconditionally deny that I engaged in the inappropriate and disturbing incidents falsely depicted in the media. While I support the important work of addressing legitimate claims of sexual misconduct, I reject the false allegations and innuendo in the recent press.

I have retained the legal counsel of Lavely & Singer to investigate and to pursue as necessary any claims against anyone participating to defame me in the media.

Mark Kozelek and Kevin Corrigan: Zhao Tao A Correspondence

Mark Kozelek and Kevin Corrigan:
The Panther and The Honey Badger (A Correspondence)
Zhao Tao (A Correspondence)

Book Releases - June 30, 2020, Caldo Verde Records

PRE-ORDER: The Panther and The Honey Badger »

PRE-ORDER: Zhao Tao »

“This unusual double memoir is filled with many pleasures, most of all the pleasure of eavesdropping on a conversation between two artists, as they reveal, almost in real time, the daily rhythms and trials of being a touring, working performer, the effort it takes to get on stage day and night. Kozelek and Corrigan are not trying to impress you; they write without props or masks. The standard ghost-written rock memoir can never approach this kind of honest intimacy.” —DEAN WAREHAM (Galaxie 500, Luna)

“Following the creative path of Mark Kozelek is one of the great joys of the last several decades. From the soul-baring beauty of his songwriting and performing, to the sonic landscapes of his albums with Red House Painters and Sun Kil Moon and beyond, Kozelek creates a mood of depth and feeling like no one else. Now Mark expands his horizons yet again with a mesmerizing extended correspondence with actor Kevin Corrigan. Like his best music, the layers swirl and build and suddenly you’re in a world you never want to leave. Viva Kozelek! Viva Corrigan!” —CAMERON CROWE

"A great song is like a letter from abroad, a sharing of experience and lesson from a trusted source on another path. In that spirit, this book of dispatches between Mark Kozelek – one of my favorite correspondents on his records with Red House Painters and Sun Kil Moon – and actor Kevin Corrigan is a greatest hits of daily, emotional reporting: the rituals, trials, memories and discoveries of two friends on the front lines of their work, holding back nothing in wit and passionately honest judgement." —DAVID FRICKE , MOJO, Sirius XM Radio

“This book is so good it couldn’t be contained in one volume! Indie legends in music (Mark Kozelek) and film (Kevin Corrigan) spent a year corresponding with each other via email, documenting their struggle of trying to create art while maintaining one’s integrity in these debased times. Think My Dinner With Andre without the food and the bourgeois sensibility. Both working class kids now in their fifties, the two friends open up with sublime honesty about love, relationships, their favorite musicians, the joys of neighborhood diners, picking a good dentist and the various other mundanities of life when not in front of a microphone or a camera. At turns hilarious, at times poignant, this is a wonderful documentation of two workers in art doing their best to get through.” —LARRY “RATSO” SLOMAN, author and songwriter

end of the year 2019 letter

December 18, 2019


Friends and fans,

Thank you to everyone who turned up for the shows this year in Australia, New Zealand, USA and Canada.

I released two collaborative albums this year; I Also Want to Die in New Orleans featuring Donny McCaslin and Jim White and Joey Always Smiled featuring Petra Haden. There was also the Sun Kil Moon live album recorded in Brisbane, Australia.

I enjoyed all all of the shows and my favorite was The Masonic Temple in Asheville, North Carolina. Nice staff, great sound, and Isabel Castelvi played cello beautifully.

I'd never played outside of the major markets in Australia until this year. On the way to Castlemaina from Melbourne I saw Kangaroos for the first time in my life. One stood taller than me and that was something to write home about.

I have a few books in the works. The payphone book I mentioned last year, 500 Payphones, has been more time consuming than I thought and will be released sometime next year.

Two books co-written by Kevin Corrigan and I will be released May 5th, 2020. The books are a 365 day dialog broken up into 2 volumes called The Panther and The Honey Badger and Zhao Tao.

I finished a spoken word album the night before Thanksgiving. The stories are told over ambient music. With the help of pro-tools and a skilled engineer I was able to play piano on all songs except for two. The double- CD, entitled All The Best, Isaac Hayes, will be released on April 24, 2020.

I've got a Christmas show with Kevin Corrigan tomorrow night in Brooklyn and I look forward to singing Christmas music with him.

Thank you to Scott, Chris, Ben, Patrick, Ramon, Kevin, Jim, Petra, Isabel, Nathan, Will, Tony and Donny for making music with me this year.

Thank you Caroline for your love and support.

My best of list for 2019:

Concert: Robert Plant at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass
Series: Godfather of Harlem
Movie: Once Upon A Time In Hollywood
Book: Holly Throsby - Cedar Valley
Year highlight: Talking boxing with Joyce Carol Oates at City Lights Books.
Most impressive win in boxing: Ruiz vs Anthony Joshua 1
Album - Gia Margaret - There's Always Glimmer
Meal - Thanksgiving with Caroline in San Francisco

Happy Holidays to all!

Mark Kozelek

Mark Kozelek and Kevin Corrigan: Zhao Tao A Correspondence

November 20, 2019

Mark Kozelek and Kevin Corrigan:
The Panther and The Honey Badger (A Correspondence)
Zhao Tao (A Correspondence)

Book Releases - June 20, 2020, Caldo Verde Records

On May 5, 2018, actor Kevin Corrigan and singer/songwriter Mark Kozelek decided to correspond every day by email for a year.

Not missing a day, the two artists give detailed accounts of their lives from May 5, 2018 to May 5, 2019.

Kevin writes about his life on television sets, movie sets, and video shoots, present and past.

Mark chronicles studio sessions and his tours throughout the year, revealing poignant memories of his life in music. The two connect on their struggles with mid-life issues; coping with the loss of loved ones and the ever-changing entertainment industry that they've managed to navigate for decades.

Reveling in the nostalgia of childhood and growing up in the working-class neighborhoods of The Bronx and Massillon, Ohio, Kevin and Mark share similar values that have shaped their lives and careers. They bond at their deepest in regards to love for their parents.

On some days, the two express self-deprecating vulnerabilities and insecurities. On others, they shine bright with confidence and gratitude.

Throughout the correspondence, Kevin and Mark discuss authors, actors, athletes and musicians who have influenced their careers and shaped their styles.

Divided into two volumes, these books are filled with highs and lows of the entertainment industry and the joys and sorrows that come with everyday life.

The Panther and The Honey Badger and Zhao Tao are a must-read for fans of the ubiquitous character actor who played TV and film roles ranging from Goon in Buffalo ‘66 to Uncle Eddie in Grounded for Life, and the singular, enigmatic musician who was signed to 4AD, Subpop, Island Records, and continues to tour the world and make records on his own label, Caldo Verde Records.

August 29, 2019

Upcoming Release:
Mark Kozelek: Nights of Passed Over 2 Limited Edition hardcover book
Release Date: October 27, 2019
(Caldo Verde Records)

This comprehensive collection of Kozelek’s recent works spans a decade’s worth of experimental approaches to songwriting and pictures the evolution of an artist across twenty-one studio recordings—including all full-length albums, collaborations, EPs and singles—2010 to 2019. From Sun Kil Moon's Admiral Fell Promises to Mark Kozelek with Petra Haden's Joey Always Smiled, these pages are characterized by a rare emotional intensity as Kozelek’s unique approach to memoir and metaphor coalesce in a lyricism that transcends sentimentality in an exploration of loss, distance, art and empathy that has earned him an international following. The book includes a preface by Mark Kozelek.

An Evening With Kozelek

December 7, 2018

End of the Year Friends and fans,

It’s been a busy and productive year in music. The year started with a benefit concert for the 2017 Sonoma/Santa Rosa fires in January at Gundlach Bundschu Winery and ended with a Christmas show with Kevin Corrigan at The Loft at City Winery in NYC on December 2. And there is still another- a Butte Strong benefit concert at The Chico Women’s Club in Chico, California, December 16. All proceeds go to those who lost homes in the Butte County fires. Thank you to The Chico Women’s Club and Boris for putting this important show together. I’ll never forget the smell of smoke and the dense grey skies during my walks through the Marina while I was home for a short break in between tours.

My favorite tour this year was the October European tour where I was joined by Ben Boye on piano and Ramon Fermin on guitar. The tour started in London and ended in Bilbao. The combination of piano and nylon string guitar left a lot of room for not only my vocals, but for Ramon and Ben to shine. Our momentum built more with each show. With musicians as good as Ben and Ramon, I always went on stage feeling confident and it was a tour that I felt sad to say goodbye to.

My favorite one-off show was Montenegro with Ramon Fermin on guitar and Chris Connolly on piano. That was the most vacation-like show I’d ever played in my life. I swam every day, developed a funny rapport with the hotel maids, had great meals, and nice encounters with stray cats along the Bay of Kotor.

I released two records this year. Singing songs, live, from the self-titled Mark Kozelek album is euphoria. My only regret about the album is that I wish “666 Post” was longer. During my most recent tour in Europe, Ben and I played “I Cried During Wall Street” during a show in Berlin on my dad’s 85th birthday. I can’t seem to write enough songs about how much I love my dad, but when I sing that one, I feel an especially deep connection with him. I called him that night from Berlin to tell him Happy Birthday and how much I love him. He’s 85 years old and he’s not only my best friend, but he’s my biggest inspiration. All of his friends have passed, plus 7 of his 8 siblings, and he somehow manages to go to Panera Bread every other day.

This Is My Dinner was released on November 1. I never knew that these songs written so quickly on airplanes, music written during soundchecks, plus the entire album being recorded in 4 days, would receive so much attention. This, to me, is testament that making impactful and meaningful albums doesn’t mean slaving away at songs for a year and being in a studio for another year under the scrutiny of music industry hangers-on.

In regards to art, I relate to Henry Miller on the following quotes:

"We don't have to turn out a masterpiece every day. To paint, is the thing, not to make masterpieces."

"The language of society is conformity. The language of the creative individual is freedom."

"I have faith in the man who is writing, who is myself, the writer."

"The great writer is the symbol of life. Of the non-perfect."

"All that the critics write about a work of art, even at best, even when most sound, convincing, plausible, even when done with love, which is seldom, is as nothing compared to the actual mechanics, the real genetics of a work of art."

-Henry Miller


There’s always something that triggers an album and sets it in a direction. Buying a 5-CD Segovia set in Wellington, New Zealand inspired Admiral Fell Promises. Reading a John Connolly book in an old house in California inspired Among the Leaves. A text between Jimmy LaValle and I sparked Perils from The Sea. The sudden death of a second cousin inspired my love letter to Ohio, Benji. The toxicity and tension building up to the 2016 election inspired Common as Light and Love Are Red Valleys of Blood. Music written and recorded in hotel rooms in San Francisco is my love letter to San Francisco, Mark Kozelek. And a European tour in November of 2017 inspired the nostalgic travelogue, This Is My Dinner.

The songs on This Is My Dinner don’t represent all of my experiences in Europe by any stretch, but do capture a handful of memories of 25 years’ worth of travels there. I have a lot of love for my friends there who have supported me since the 1990s and continue to make time for me though they all have families now. They know who they are and they live in my heart and soul every day. Their gifts over the years are the fruit bowls on my tables, the lamps that light my bedside reading, and the Portuguese guitar on many of my albums.

I’ve got a new Sun Kil Moon album due out April 12, 2019, entitled I Also Want to Die in New Orleans. The album was originally titled Mark Kozelek with Donny McCaslin and Jim White. But after walking through the Mission District in San Francisco and seeing a poster for the $uicide Boy$ album, I Want to Die in New Orleans, I immediately knew that the name for this album would be: I Also Want to Die in New Orleans. The reason is because of my love for New Orleans and specifically a line from the song Cows: “If I die eating crawfish and Gulf Coast oysters in New Orleans, know that I died happy.” Thank you, $uicide Boy$, for inspiring the title.

In addition to all of the above, I’m just finishing work on a 6-song full length album featuring artists Petra Haden, Jason Lindner, Kevin Corrigan, Steve Shelley, Donny McCaslin, Ben Boye, and other great talents. My guess is a July release on that one. Moniker/album title/song titles to be announced in February. The album was recorded throughout 2018 at Portland’s Ice Cream Party, Amsterdam’s IJland Studios, and San Francisco’s Hyde Street Studios.

The fall of 2019 will also see the release of two books I’ve had in the works via Rough Trade Publishing. One is a lyric book, Nights of Passed Over 2 – which includes all lyrics I’ve written and released from Admiral fell Promises to the present. This includes not only 14 full length albums during that period, but also singles and songs from various EPs.

And there is my photo book, 500 Payphones – a book that I’ve been working on since 2012. It’s a collection of payphone photos that I’ve taken around the world; the purpose is to document the decline of the payphone. All of the photos were taken with disposable cameras and a flip phone.

I’m also at work on a tour documentary for the band Xylouris/White with the help of a friend who helped me film them during portions of their 2018 tour. I’m in early editing stages but it’s my goal to capture the power of this duo’s live show and to have the film out by 2020. And I started www.markkozelek.com back in 2017. It’s there for whoever wants to take a look. Mostly photos taken during tours and studio sessions.

Thank you to my girlfriend Caroline for her love and support. Thank you to Tony, Scott, Ramon, Kevin, Chris, Steve, Jim, Ben, Donny, Joan, Emily, Ramon, Chris, Petra, Jeff, Patrick, Town Hall Ensemble, and Jordan for making music with me this year.

A huge thanks to Nathan Winter for his hard work in the studio and flying to San Francisco so many times from New York.

Thank you to Robert Vickers, Brian Azer, Redeye, and to Rough Trade for all of their help and support.

Thank you to Phoebe Bridgers and Aidan Gillen for their thoughtful and intelligent interviews in regards to my 2018 releases.

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

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.

end of year

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!

Huskur Du

September 15, 2017

once met a girl from Roanoke, Virginia
her eyes were green her hair was red
she was 24, I was 19
we'd fuck like bunnies all day on her waterbed

we listened to Husker Du's
Candy Apple Grey
and Warehouse Songs and Stories
so many times that my ears bled

December 16, 2016

Holiday message from Sun Kil Moon 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

Thanks to Glenn Dicker, Dave Jackson, Chris Connolly, Nathan, Will, Robert, Lori Miller, John Connolly, Cameron Crowe, Andy Fischer, Geoff Travis, Ruth, Brian, Ilana, Mitch, Ed, Rosa, Dawn Holiday, The Reid Family, and Nicolas and Katia, for their friendship, support, and kindness throughout the years.

Happy Holidays to all and a Happy 2017!

30 Days, 50 Songs and the End of the Protest Song

November 13, 2016

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."

—David Pollock

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. The CD, The Deep Woods, includes tracks from Mark Kozelek, Low, Susanne Sundfør, This Mortal Coil, and more.

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
