Sun Kil Moon


"I Also Want to Die in New Orleans" is the tenth studio album by the American band Sun Kil Moon, released in March 2019 under Caldo Verde Records. Originally intended to be titled "Mark Kozelek with Donny McCaslin and Jim White," the album's title was changed after Mark Kozelek, the lead figure behind Sun Kil Moon, encountered a promotional poster for the 2018 $uicideboy$ album titled "I Want to Die in New Orleans." In response, Kozelek altered the album's title to echo the hip-hop duo's work. The album features a CD release, made available on April 12, 2019. "I Also Want to Die in New Orleans" continues Kozelek's explorations of introspective and poetic songwriting, with a title that reflects a juxtaposition between the reflective nature of his music and the stark phraseology found in the hip-hop world. The album showcases Kozelek's distinctive style, blending elements of folk, rock, and spoken word.
