I was pretty surprised to hear Sun Kil Moon featured in Steve Martin’s Shopgirl, let alone to see Mark Kozelek acting in the movie. He basically plays himself, Luther, a singer/guitarist in a band called “Hot Tears,” who mentors Jason Schwartzman’s character, Jeremy. Low bassist Zak Sally also plays in the fictional band. Sun Kil Moon has a new album of Modest Mouse covers coming out, that, while an interesting idea, I don’t really think does the songs justice. Kozelek’s versions are short sweet excercises in song writing that utilize Isaac Brock’s lyrics, but that, for me, don’t really compare to the complex quality of the originals. Samples from the album can be found online at various spots. “Ocean Breathes Salty” or “Dramamine” would be the tracks I’d recommend.
