Sun Kil Moon and Jesu Collab LP Detailed, Mark Kozelek Performs With Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore and Steve Shelley

Earlier this year, we reported that Sun Kil Moon and Jesu (aka Justin Broadrick, also of Godflesh) had plans to release a collaborative album together. Today, Mark Kozelek has confirmed the project on the Sun Kil Moon website, as Stereogum points out. 

Jesu/Sun Kil Moon arrives February 19, 2016 via Kozelek’s Caldo Verde records. Its tracklist includes such titles as “America’s Most Wanted Mark Kozelek and John Dillinger” and ” Last Night I Rocked The Room Like Elvis And Had Them Laughing Like Richard Pryor”. Check out the tracklisting below.

The new LP isn’t the first collaboration between Kozelek and Broadrick. Jesu’s 2009 album Opiate Sun came out through Caldo Verde, and Broadrick later interviewed Kozelek for the Caldo Verde website. In 2013, Kozelek covered Godflesh’s song “Like Rats”, and the following year he called out Broadrick by name in his track “The Possum”.

In other Kozelek news, he recently announced Dreams of Childhood, a spoken word album created in collaboration with Argentine actor Nicolás Pauls. His duet with Slowdive‘s Rachel Goswell, meanwhile, will appear on the Minor Victories album.

On top of that, at Latitude Festival in Suffolk, England recently, he brought out Sonic Youth‘s Thurston Moore and Steve Shelley to do Benji‘s “Richard Ramirez Died Today of Natural Causes”. Watch footage of that performance below via Spin.
