Line 1:
{{
[[Red House Painters]] are a [[Slowcore]] band from the 90's consisting of singer-songwriter Mark Kozelek, drummer Anthony Koutsos, guitarist Jerry Vessel, and bassists Gorden Mack (1989-1995)and Phil Carney (1995-2001).
They started out in 1989 constantly recording demos. These demos are now sought-out collector's items by fans of the band. Nonetheless, in 1992, they signed to 4AD Records and scrapped most of the older material in exchange for a thicker, slower version of that material. They released their first album, ''Down Colorful Hill'' to nearly universal critical acclaim.
After the release of the first album, they became the new shining beacons of the 4AD label along with the [[American Music Club]]. The next year would be spent in exhausting touring and recording for the band, resulting in two [[Self-Titled Album
Then, after being pressured into creating a "pop album", the band recorded their 1995 album ''Ocean Beach''. Once again given critical acclaim, but faced with commercial failure. The more folk-oriented sound did not set well with some fans.
Line 13:
Known for their string of critically acclaimed albums and Kozelek's brilliant yet depressing lyrics, [[Red House Painters]] are one of the quintessential bands of the 1990s.
