Released in the heat of July, "Admiral Fell Promises" was a wintry album full of all the haunted and quiet beauty of a fresh snow fall at night. For this outing as Sun Kil Moon, Mark Kozelek, who just happens to be one of this generation's greatest singer/songwriters, strips his tales of loss and longing down to little more than acoustic guitars and vocals, and the effect is romantic, riveting and devastating throughout. This album deserves to be on a lot more Best Of lists for 2010 than it has been. For my money this was the most beautiful album I heard all year. Full review here.
