Bay Area folk-rocker Mark Kozelek has always been known for surprising left turns, incredible dexterity, and inspired song choices—so it wasn’t a total shocker that his first solo LP after The Red House Painters covered solely Bon Scott–era AC/DC songs. Songs like “Love at First Feel” and “Love Hungry Man” strip away the howls and hard-driving guitars, revealing songwriting with real emotional depth and intuition. Layered guitars on tracks like “Bad Boy Boogie” see Kozelek sliding comfortably into his new role as a first-rate solo act.
