Red House Painters (4AD, 1993), also known as Rollercoaster, is centered on four new long poems in the vein of the previous record. The first of these four appearing on the album (the third track) is the classic Katy Song, as light and elegant as a feather falling from a tower.

What was the mood of Red House Painters?

The demo-quality of those recordings contributed to the sense of philosophical melancholy, but Red House Painters(1993), also known as Rollercoaster, revealed a much lighter and brighter mood: rather than whining, Kozelek was contemplating the universe. Each song was a moment in time, an impressionistic watercolor.

In the late ’80s, Kozelek (vocals, born in 1968 in Ohio, and later moving to Atlanta) formed the Red House Painters, an acoustic quartet, with Mack Gordon (guitar) in San Francisco. Down Colorful Hill (4AD, 1992) brings together six long compositions created two and three years before, songs which are soft whimpers and prolonged sighs.
