Perils from the Sea is a collaborative studio album by American singer-songwriter Mark Kozelek and multi-instrumentalist Jimmy LaValle, released on April 30, 2013 on Caldo Verde Records.

Background and recording[]

On September 11, 2011, Sun Kil Moon's Mark Kozelek asked Jimmy LaValle, of The Album Leaf, to collaborate on a song, resulting in the album's opening track, "What Happened to My Brother". The two continued to work together over the next year, culminating in a finished album, Perils from the Sea.[3]

"You Missed My Heart" previously appeared on Kozelek's 2013 live album Live at Phoenix Public House Melbourne.

Release[]

Perils from the Sea was originally set to be released under Kozelek and LaValle's monikers, Sun Kil Moon and The Album Leaf.[4]

"You Missed My Heart" was later covered by Phoebe Bridgers on her 2017 album Stranger in the Alps.
