Red House Painters has grown to be a cult group and one of 4AD's most beloved artists in the years that have passed since their debut. They've released a number of records that have helped to define the label during their time on the label. This April 21st, 4AD is set to release a box set of their first four albums, Down Colorful Hill, Red House Painters (Rollercoaster), Ocean Beach and Bridge.
Drop: a reverb-drenched six-song debut
Red House Painters had only been formed one year before their debut album, 'Drop'. This six-song LP was full of reverb and reminded me of an early C100 Memorex cassette. Although the songs were choppy, they had a great feel and Mark Kozelek's voice was clear and uncluttered.
Their reverb-soaked guitars often reminded of Neil Young. They also covered classic rock songs. However, Kozelek had some original material, which was not always as easily accessible. He reworked John Denver's 'Take Me Home' into an acoustic version, and also covered 'I Am A Rock' by Simon and Garfunkel on the 1993 album Rollercoaster.
'Moments’: A more pastoral approach
The next album, 'Ocean Beach', featured a folk-influenced approach to music. There are no long, droning songs like their early albums. And there are many more melodies. Lyrical narratives are also included. It was the final album without Gorden Mack and saw Kozelek move to a more radio-friendly style. The album's cover versions of 'Long Distance Runaround,' by Yes, and Drop' from Fleetwood Mac were more upbeat than their previous work.
'Long Distance Runaround' is an acoustic cover from a 1971 hit.
While they have covered many classic songs over the years by The Red House Painters, their first acoustic cover was 'Long Distance Runaround. This is not their best cover but it's a solid one that Kozelek uses to break out of his shell, delivering better songs and melodies.
'Ocean Beach’: An introspective approach
Kozelek and Red House Painters adopted a folk-influenced approach with Ocean Beach. Their early albums don't have the long, dreamlike epics they had, but there are many songs that are more reflective than ever.
FAQ
What are the payment terms for the service/contractor I am required to pay?
The type and amount of the service will affect the payment schedule. In other words, if you hire someone to install a roof, you will typically pay once the work has been completed. However, when you purchase a product from a seller, such as a kitchen range oven, you may only pay once you have received and tested it.
Are there any ways I can prepare for negotiations before I go?
Yes!
There are many ways that you can prepare yourself for negotiation.
One way is to make the terms and condition of the agreement.
Do I Need A Legal Representative To Sign My Service Agreements?
No. No. As a precaution, however, it is a good idea to appoint one.
A legal representative is someone who acts on behalf of another person. If you are a contractor, you may want to appoint someone who will represent you professionally.
This could be hiring an accountant or solicitor. It could also mean someone being appointed to manage your business interests.
In most cases, the client is responsible for appointing a legal agent. Sometimes, however.
In either case, having a legal representative means you are protected legally.
