Single, RED HOUSE PAINTERS: Down Colorful Hill ep (24/Medicine Bottle/Down Colorful Hill/Japanese to English/Lord Kill the Pain/Michael)


Red House Painters were an alternative rock group formed in 1989 in San Francisco by singer/songwriter Mark Kozelek. They, along with American Music Club,are considered the linchpins of the slowcore movement in alternative rock. Kozelek used this group primarily as a vehicle for his very personal and emotional songs of despair, pain and suffering.

While in Atlanta, Georgia, Kozelek became friends with Anthony Koutsos, a drummer. He then moved to San Francisco, California, adding guitarist Gorden Mack and bassist Jerry Vessel to complete the line-up for Red House Painters.

After forming, the group played the San Francisco scene extensively, and recorded demos from 1989 to 1992, building up an impressive amount of material. The band were signed to 4AD Records in 1992, on the strength of a demo tape passed to 4AD boss Ivo Watts-Russell by American Music Club frontman Mark Eitzel. Between September 1992 and March 1995, the band was prolific, releasing three LPs, one double LP, and one EP.
