10 Great Musicians That Are Slowly Being Forgotten

4. Red House Painters

This is cheating a little bit, as Mark Kozelek and several members of Red House Painters have reformed and been releasing astonishingly brilliant music under the moniker Sun Kil Moon, but still, Red House Painters deserve to never be forgotten. Red House Painters in many ways embody the notion of the sublime, making music that€™s so staggering and overwhelming it could crush you under the weight of its own beauty. Every song is a perfectly formed crystal, full of sweeping lines and drifting vocals. Listening to them is mesmeric, it€™s like watching a beautiful woman dance in a crowded room. They made the sort of albums where the world dissolves around you, time gets lost and you realise you€™ve missed your tube stop a few stations back. It€™s music you see you see yourself reflected back in. Red House Painters albums are packed with personal lyrics, heartfelt messages and a folky warmness that bubbles up out of every track while everything about their work has a slight mystical edge to it. Something intangible that you can€™t quite explain why you love it, or why they are slowly being forgotten.
