Tiny Cities is the 2005 sophomore album by Mark Kozelek's Sun Kil Moon, released November 1, 2005. It features the same lineup from their debut release, Ghosts of the Great Highway. This album was chosen as one of Amazon.com's Top 100 Editor's Picks of 2005 (see 2005 in music).
The full-length album is composed of covers of songs by Modest Mouse, released on Kozelek's own label, Caldo Verde Records. Much like his AC/DC tribute What's Next to the Moon, Kozelek has re-interpreted the often frenetic, noisy and rhythmically complex songs of Modest Mouse into a midtempo suite of delicate, acoustic guitar led ballads, with Kozelek's vocal stylings very much to the fore. From the first track "Exit Does Not Exist" to the closing "Ocean Breathes Salty," he seems to have fashioned a loose concept of travel and transition (physical and emotional) from the Modest Mouse discography.
