Weeping Willows

"After hearing Dakota Hill's "Signal Hill" I can't help but think about the Red House Painters. The gentle slow moving rhythms. The melodic, tear jerking cord progressions all hint of the same sort of despair Mark Kozelek has conjured up on his solo debut "RocknRoll Singer". It's no wonder both releases can be found on San Francisco's Badman Records. Beautiful in scope, somber as a dark, rainy day Dakota Suite have made a fine record here although Red House Painters still hold the torch to light the midnight air."
