And one more single before the official release of Quiet Beach House Nights? Not at all! Santa Ana is (at least for now?) a 20 minute neoclassical standalone jam by Mark Kozelek under the Sun Kil Moon-Banner.

For a number that is practically purely instrumental, in which vocal vocal harmonies are rarely heard (“dadadadada“), Kozelek returns to soft nylon strings on his acoustic guitar to create a graceful melody dance, plucked with melancholic thoughtfulness and dignified posture, which glides from one segment to the next in wonderfully clear passages, at a lively and elegiac pace and interpretation varies, sometimes more agitated and sometimes calmer, an almost progressive segment dynamic develops, dreamy and mystically wafting, condensing in detail and yet creating a reduced structured space, objectively precise and playfully motivated.
Associative approximately between Yes and Daniel Rossen are fascinating, not all seams and gear changes are there Santa Ana completely interwoven, sometimes the jam seems more constructed than following a purely instinctive flow, but the 20 minutes of playing time pass in an atmospherically engaging, entertaining way and, pausing Kozelek’s stream-of-consciousness lyrics, create a pleasant (yet variable, exciting). lasting) deep breathing, that (if that came out of nowhere without any additional information Santa Ana should not be retroactively placed in a different, higher-level context) knows how to stand on its own.
