Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Released almost concurrently with head Red House Painter Mark Kozelek's solo venture What's Next to the Moon (a selection of deconstructed AC/DC covers), Old Ramon allows the rare opportunity to hear an artist both then and now. Recorded in 1997, Old Ramon languished in the limbo of label fallout, finally to be rescued and released by Sub Pop in 2001. Meanwhile, though, it seemed Kozelek had moved on, releasing a flurry of projects with nary a look back, making Old Ramon almost seem like an afterthought. But what a lovely afterthought it is. The trademark features of the Red House Painters are all here: the songs are long and meandering, the guitars seesaw languidly, the drums plod, dissonant harmonies moan and Kozelek's olive-oil voice seeps around everything. The best tracks include the light and airy "Wop a Din-Din", an homage to Kozelek's cat; the dark and beastly "Byrd Joel" and the understated "Cruiser". Still, though, the album doesn't quite shake off its purgatorial past and remains more of an asterisk amid the band's outstanding back-catalogue. If you already love the Painters, Old Ramon is a godsend. But novitiates might better be off checking out the lovely cascade of Ocean Beach or Kozelek's aforementioned solo album. --Tod Nelson
CD Description
Another album of melancholy songs from Red House Painters, originally recorded in 1997 and delayed due to legal wrangling. Frontman Mark Kozelek also organized the John Denver tribute album 'Should Have Bought It Ready Made' and appeared in the film 'Almost Famous'.
