AMG REVIEW: Red House Painters has always been Mark Kozelek's project, but
Ocean Beach represents the first record that is almost entirely a solo project.
Not that that distinction has made a great change in the music -- Ocean Beach
is a spare, gentle, nearly painfully introspective folk-rock album that draws
more from Simon & Garfunkel than Bob Dylan. Kozelek reigns in the droning,
experimental tendencies of the group's first full-length album, yet he is more
generous with his melodies and arrangements than the band's second untitled
record. While Red House Painters remains very arty and self-conscious, Ocean
Beach shows the singer-songwriter breaking out of his shell ever so slightly,
bringing more fully developed songs and melodies with him.
