Anacortes WA, United States (2003 – present)

Mount Eerie represents the latest evolution of Phil Elverum’s musical vision. Formerly known as The Microphones, Phil changed his project’s name to Mount Eerie while maintaining his subtle, lo-fi, and lyrically dense fuzz-folk aesthetic.

Elverum explained this change in an 2003 interview with Discorder, asserting that “Mount Eerie is a new project. The Microphones was completed, or at least at a good stopping point. I did it because I am ready for new things. I am new.”

As Mount Eerie, Phil is generally sans synthesizers, drums, and the accenting voices of Mirah, The Blow, and fellow K-Records/Anacortes, Washington friends. Mount Eerie’s album “Seven New Songs of Mount Eerie” was also the first recording released on Phil’s new label, P.W.Elverum & Sun. All songs from that recording are available for free download in the Internet Archive.

Wind's Poem is his best work in a very long time. Rudkovsky did you bother listening past the first half of the first song? Sooo excited for 2(!) albums this year :)

If you think Wind's Poem is scary, then you are literally less courageous than a 3 legged kitten.

I used to like Mount Eerie couple of years ago. Then, I completely forgot about this project somehow and recently saw that there's a new release out, Wind's poem. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THIS GUY DURING THESE YEARS? The record is scary :-(

Glad I'm not the only one being excited about this. I have absolutely no idea what to expect, but I'm sure it will be great as always.

@dreadfullbass I KNOW RIGHT?! I saw that too, hoping an even heavier album than Wind's Poem is one of the two.
