MARK KOZELEK (below) the American singer-songwriter who produces albums of dreamy, dolorous folk-rock under the name Sun Kil Moon, gives music journalists heartburn. They post anguished, hand-wringing articles with titles like “The Mark Kozelek Problem,” “My Favorite Singer Is a Jerk” and “Mark Kozelek and Feminist Guilt: Why I Won’t Boycott Sun Kil Moon.” Their problem is reconciling Kozelek’s sometimes loutish behavior—trolling rival band the War on Drugs as “beer-commercial lead-guitar shit,” or telling audience members, “All you fucking hillbillies, shut the fuck up”—with the beauty of his music.
