Red House Painters - Sun Kil Moon

Sun Kil Moon

In 2003, Kozelek and Koutsos, along with Geoff Stanfield and Tim Mooney, reformed as Sun Kil Moon, releasing the acclaimed album Ghosts of the Great Highway on Jetset Records. In a 2005 interview with The Onion's AV Club, Kozelek confirmed that he considered Sun Kil Moon essentially a continuation of Red House Painters, but that he changed the band name to grab the interest of critics who had got bored with, or stopped paying attention to, his previous band. The move was successful, as Ghosts of the Great Highway would be his best-selling album yet.

Famous quotes containing the words sun and/or moon:

    “Nor shall you scare us with talk of the
    death of the race.
    How should we dream of this place without us?—
    The sun mere fire, the leaves untroubled about us,
    A stone look on the stone’s face?”
    —Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    “For now the moon with friendless light carouses
    On hill and housetop, street and marketplace,
    Men will plunge, mile after mile of men,
    To crush this lucent madness of the face....”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
