This year, the singer partnered with experimental Welsh act Jesu for January's Jesu /Sun Kil Moon. The native Buckeye dropped Universal Themes last year, SKM's seventh indie-folk LP. Moody moniker behind Mark Kozelek, San Francisco's Sun Kil Moon shaped as its leader's former band, Red House Painters, dispersed.

This year's big show out in the elements comes headlined by the New York quartet that made it cool for '00 kids with floppy hair and black clothes to dream of Rob Tyner-style afros and buy used Rush LPs.
