Back in 2003 Sun Kil Moon aka Mark Kozelek put out a great folk album Ghosts of the Great Highway. Now he's back with Tiny Cities, an album of all cover tunes of Modest Mouse. I love Modest Mouse and I have to say I was anxious to see how this album would come out. And I have to say that this is everything what I expected and more.Including songs from almost all of Modest Mouse discography, it strips out the typically energetic rock and allows the listener to pay more attention to the lyrics and realize how great of songwriter Isaac Brock is. Even Tiny Cities Made of Ashes which was one of my least favorite songs, and got very few listens, is now one of my favorites. It is going to be very hard to narrow down a top 10 album list by the end of the year at this rate. Note: Sun Kil Moon's - Tiny Cities comes out next Tuesday, November 1st, 2005.
