Just one year on from their brilliant debut, Red House Painters were back with not one, but two albums. Both eponymously titled and released just months apart in 1993, the first of which was this ambitious double album. With a rollercoaster on the cover to give it its unofficial title, its now seen as one of Mark Kozelek's most realized collections, containing career highlights like Grace Cathedral Park, Katy Song, and Mistress.
"...a sprawling, remarkable set distinguished by Mark Kozelek's continuing maturation as a songwriter...Red House Painters offers an expansion of both emotional and musical possibilities...the record moves through a shifting, impressionistic backdrop of textures and sounds; from the luminous folk-pop of "Grace Cathedral Park" to the epic dissonance of the gut-wrenching "Strawberry Hill," the songs resonate with depth and poignancy..." -Jason Ankeny, allmusic.com
