Mark’s new album, Among the Leaves, is out this May. Below is a great video of Mark at the Shivering Songs Festival up in New Brunswick this past winter. The second song is “Sunshine of Chicago”, which is the second track off the new album (first song is “Heron Blue”). Per standard Kozelek, it’s memorizing.

Head over to Bradley’s Almanac to catch up on more Kozelek love and also enter to win a 4 song EP I’ll Be There. On the album is a cover of “Natural Light” by Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, an alternate version of “Third and Seneca”, cover of Stereolab’s “Tomorrow is Already There” and the title track cover of Jackson 5′s classic hit, “I’ll Be There”.

Yes, New Little Barrie album!

This band has a way of popping up every two years or so in my life. I was first introduced when a friend working for Artemus Records had a bunch of albums to share and Little Barrie’s album, We are Little Barrie, was one of them. Off and on throughout the years the album would resurface from the depths of my ipod and I would go a few months of straight listening, wondering why these guys don’t have more of a presence.

While this new album, King Of The Waves, has been out in the UK since last June, it’s not getting released here until February 28th. What I’m really pissed about, however, is that I missed them playing live when they came through last weekend opening for Charles Bradley (a great find by the way). Given their rarity like aura, I have a feeling that will be the last time for many years too. Oh well, new good music is new good music and I’ll take live or recorded.
