Led by singer\/songwriter Mark Kozelek, the band established themselves as one of the premier indie rock outfits of the mid-'90s. With songs ranging from light acoustic numbers to more powerful plugged-in tracks, they documented the dark and dirty side of human nature. Kozelek's ghostly voice aired myriad insecurities and emotional inconstancies over his quartet's skeletal backing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMembers of The Red House Painters included Mark Kozelek on vocals and guitar, Gordon Mack on guitar, Anthony Koutsos on drums, Jerry Vessel on bass, and Phil Carney on guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSimilar artists to The Red House Painters include Sun Kil Moon, Mark Kozelek, Bedhead, Carissa's Wierd, Low, Codeine, Idaho,Songs: Ohia,Aceotone,Mojave 3 ,The American Analog Set ,Sparklehorse,Bark Psychosis ,Smog,Galaxie 500 ,Seam,the Microphones ,Mount Eerie ,Slint,and American Music Club.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"ocean-beach","title":"Ocean Beach","description":"\u003cp\u003e'Ocean Beach' was originally released in 1995 and was to be the last record Red House Painters released on 4AD.

Despite Red House Painters already having released a double album earlier in the year, Mark Kozelek's band capped off a remarkable year in 1993 with this second self-titled release. The whole album is a hugely introspective affair, even by the standards already set by the band. 'Evil' tells a story of a childhood misfit; this is followed by two defiantly inwardly-facing narratives in 'Bubble' and 'I Am a Rock'. Kozelek shows his gift for wringing new emotion and meaning from a cover version in the latter Paul Simon track, which sits very comfortably alongside his own song.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"4AD","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50410594632011,"sku":"388864","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/d8f4bcc3-86cf-477c-8c47-fdaf706bf4b9_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726645270"},{"product_id":"red-house-painters-rollercoaster","title":"Red House Painters (Rollercoaster)","description":"\u003cp\u003e180 Gram Vinyl with Download. The second album by Red House Painters was originally released in spring 1993 by 4AD. Eight songs left over from the recording sessions would make up the band's second self-titled album. Mark Kozelek's lyrics focus on themes of pain, desolation and loss, while musically the album runs from the folk-pop of 'Grace Cathedral Park' to the shoegaze of 'Mistress' to the stark 'New Jersey' and onto the soundscapes of 'Funhouse' and 'Mother'. The Red House Painters sound is comprised of acoustic and light electric or clean tone guitar textures, a simple yet solid rhythmic foundation, and Kozelek's unique, expressive voice singing tormented words of sadness, isolation and dispossession. The result is music that conveys heartfelt emotions through a strikingly honest and genuine delivery. There is nothing technically complicated about this music. It is deeply stimulating work in instrumental and compositional sparseness, carrying an elegant, plainspoken charm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"4AD","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50432955449675,"sku":"388866","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/e5828d2d-e770-4d7a-8f05-27d0e60af0a0_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726875534"},{"product_id":"down-colorful-hill","title":"Down Colorful Hill","description":"\u003cp\u003eback in stock.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50982545817931,"sku":"287157","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_34fa5367_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1735677552"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/red-house-painters.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
