Excellent condition of rare 2 x 10" Vinyl, 1995. ================================================================================================================================ Red House Painters war eine 1989 in San Francisco gegründete Rockband. Ihre gelegentlich als Slowcore oder Sadcorebezeichnete Musik war eine Spielart des Alternative Rock, die von stark zurückgenommenem Tempo, filigranen Gitarrenlinien und dem eindringlichen Gesang des Kopfes der Band, Mark Kozelek, geprägt war. ================================================================================================================================ There are some songs which have the ability to wash over you and somehow enlighten every cell in your body, such is the connection that they form within you. Ocean Beach contains about six of these songs. The type that you have to stop what you are doing, close your eyes and "listen". The way the organ chimes in perfectly with the piano in the middle-section of "Shadows"; the expression in Mark Kozelek's voice thru all these songs, but especially the dripping moodiness of "Moments"; the jaunty summer-flavoured "Over my Head" all send shivers of joy and sadness thru my body.
Free from too much guitar-fuzz work out (although, inevitably, there is a little) it leans towards the spare and delicate, with gently finger-picks or strums of the acoustic gee-tar, or lightly hammered piano keys to complement Mark Kozelek's becalming vocal intonations. One of those albums which still haunt you days after you have listened to it. Deservedly a classic.
For Red House Painter's 1995 release, while full of sadness, yet resonates with the clarity of a pale grey winter sky.
The songs echo those of Melbourne songwriter Gareth Edwards (the singer and guitarist in Sandro) in that they document the paradoxical yet fundamental coexistence of love and hate in the same relationship. For how can there be one without the other? This is never more achingly spelt out than on Drop, Ocean Beach's nine-minute closing song, wherein Kozelek describes in simple, awful clarity such a relationship.
Ocean Beach is a unadorned, uncluttered record. From the sweet shuffle of Cabezon and Over My Head, via the upbeat yet serene San Geronimo (with its slow, deliberate fadeout) to such tragic testaments as Shadows, all the while burnished by Kozelek's warm, pacific voice.
