Nights of Passed Over, the book of lyrics that spans Mark Kozelek’s entire career, is finally ready for release. Originally released only in Portugal in 2002, Nights also contains set lists and a new foreword by Kozelek. April 1st, the same day that the new Sun Kil Moon album (April) drops, is the scheduled release for the book. On Monday, March 17th, Kozelek’s Caldo Verde imprint will begin taking pre-orders.

A 12-song bonus CD will be packaged with the book that includes rare demos, alternates, and live tracks. These tracks range from 1996 to 2007 and many are seeing their first release on CD. This pressing of Nights is limited to 2,500 copies and I’m confident that they will go fast. Kozelek has been performing at SXSW this week and has a spring tour lined up that includes a June 18th stop at the Ottobar in Baltimore.
