Sings Christmas Carols

Mark Kozelek strips holiday standards down to fingerpicked acoustic guitar and his weathered baritone for Caldo Verde Records, trading the Red House Painters' orchestral density for intimate, unadorned arrangements. Each carol becomes a meditation rather than a celebration—spare, introspective, and tinged with the melancholy that defines his solo work. A quietly devastating holiday record that rejects sentimentality in favor of raw vocal presence and fingerstyle precision.
