Lyrics were painfully personal and it was kind of a musical revelation to me.

Have you heard the Desertshore albums? this one is really really good. It kind of sounds exactly like a regular Sun Kil Moon album from that phase, but I think the guys from that band also played with SKM live.
Yeah I like that one quite a lot. Sounds a bit like Red House Painters actually, I think at least one of the other musicians is from the RHP days.

at this point I'm just a bit tired of hearing about lying in bed with his cat watching wrestling and how annoying touring is and eating crab cakes with ben gibbard.

but even his guitar parts have undergone this minimalist transformation. Many of the songs off the last few albums are just classical guitar loops that go on for like 8 fuckin minutes
