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. Their time with the label has seen them record a variety of records, which helped define the label. 4AD will release a boxed set of their first four albums on April 21st: Down Colorful Hill and Red House Painters (Rollercoaster), Ocean Beach, Bridge, and Ocean Beach.
Drop: a reverb-drenched six-song debut
It was only a year after Red House Painters first formed that they released their debut album, a six song LP entitled 'Drop' which was drenched with reverb and reminiscent of an early C100 Memorex cassette. Although the songs were a little too fast, they had a good feel to it and Mark Kozelek sounded clear and uncluttered.
Their reverb-soaked, tremolo-drenched guitars were often reminiscent if Neil Young. There was also a strong tendency to cover classic songs. However Kozelek also had original material, which wasn't always easy to find. 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 'Ocean Beach' album that followed saw a more folk-influenced approach to the 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 last album with Gorden Mack, the founding guitarist. This album saw Kozelek & the band shift towards a radio-friendly sound. Songs like 'Summer Dress" and San Geronimo featured more upbeat lyrics. The album's covers for 'Long Distance Runaround’ by Yes and ‘Drop’ by Fleetwood Mac are more relaxed than their earlier work.
'Long Distance Runaround’: Acoustic cover of a hit 1971 song
The Red House Painters had covered a lot of classic rock tracks over the years, but 'Long Distance Runaround' was their first acoustic cover. 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, the Red House Painters and Ocean Beach took a folk-influenced musical approach. The songs on Ocean Beach are shorter and more intimate than their early albums.

How To
How do you write a simple service agreement?
A contract should be written in plain English using short sentences and paragraphs. The contract should contain all pertinent information, including the amount of money that the customer will receive. The price must also be clearly indicated at the end.
The language should be easily understood by all who read it, and should not include legal jargon.
You should avoid using complex words like 'and' and 'or' because they are difficult to read. Also, avoid using technical terms unless they are necessary.
Make the text easy to follow by using bullet points wherever possible.
Do not include too much information in the contract.
You should not promise or make guarantees about the quality of the service.
Be clear when the service will commence and end.
You must ensure that your contract contains all details regarding payment. For example, if the client is responsible for paying the bill within 30 days of receipt, he/she must pay it.
If the customer isn't responsible for paying the invoice, it is important that you receive payment in full from him/her before you start work. This will ensure that you don't lose money due to late payments.
All documents related to the contract should be kept in a backup. These documents should always be secured.
Don't sign anything until it has been thoroughly reviewed.
You need permission to add to a contract if you want to.
You should always keep a duplicate of the contract in case you need it.
