Tiny Cities


Tiny Cities is the second studio album by American indie folk act Sun Kil Moon, released November 1, 2005 on Caldo Verde Records. The album features the same lineup as the band's debut, Ghosts of the Great Highway. This album was chosen as one of Amazon.com's Top 100 Editor's Picks of 2005.
The full-length album is composed of covers of songs by Modest Mouse, released on Kozelek's own label, Caldo Verde Records. Much like his AC/DC tribute What's Next [to the Moon (album)|What's Next to the Moon], Kozelek has re-interpreted the often complicated, rhythmically complex songs of Modest Mouse into delicate, acoustic-guitar-led ballads.
In a February 2014 interview with Seattle's The Stranger, Kozelek commented that he's "never heard from Modest Mouse" as to what they think of the record. However, in a later conversation with Ben Gibbard, Kozelek said that he met Modest Mouse singer Isaac Brock "in Austin, and we talked about life insurance and making albums. He thanked me for making Tiny Cities, and that made my day!".
