"In fact, I took a couple of weeks off from the album before revisiting it. As another commenter said, it is about finding the space of this music. It's not a room one walks into most days; it's even deeper in the heart--the things haunting the corners of sleep, or moments of dogged hope felt alone as rain brings day to evening, or a gray sunrise barely tendrilled by streaks of rose. At any rate, as I come back to the album, the songs do vary, sometimes greatly, in music and in mood, which I could not pick up on in my first listens. I fall into the album now, recognize its rainy windowpanes and small, ornate bedstands, feel it as a small European town hotel room I stay in while traveling alone. For those whose souls are rent by MK's vision, AFP is well worth the investment, although the cd is less readily accessible than April or Ghosts of the Great Highway. Give it its space, then sit by the window and listen."

One of these days...

"Like many, I've been listening to Mr. Kozelek's music for some time now. Never tiring of the moments he recounts, the bits and pieces he shares... sharing so much. As he continues to hone his vision, with each new release holding the promise of his finest work yet, AFP is much like my first hearing of Sundays and Holidays. Every time he inexorably turns the corner from "third and seneca" to his view on 32nd street, I feel a flood of emotions so hard to hold back, like some inner dam bursting. Not sure why but that's how his music works for me. There's much to reflect upon. Seemingly driven and hardworking. Please keep up the perfect and honestly good work. Oh, and thanks for sharing."
