Phil Elverum is a busy busy man!!

It seems that Phil Elverum is determined to enter the Guinness book of world records for releasing the most records in a year. Mount Eerie has another incredible release. This time around it's another book. Somehow he manages to stay relevant by morphing his Microphones/Mt. Eerie project into an art project. -BARR

You might recognize this track from previous Elverum releases. The songs on this record are bare bones. Not the typical reverb soaked studio trickery you may be used to.

Mount Eerie - Moon Sequel



According to the Buenaventura Press site:

The music of Mount Eerie and The Microphones has always been a very personal, almost voyeuristic, glimpse inside the mind of Phil Elverum. Dawn delves deep into an intensely creative period of Elverum's life with a beautiful mix of journal writing, jokes, photographs and music. This 144-page hardcover collection chronicles a winter spent alone in a cabin in arctic Norway wrestling with ghosts, gathering wood, acting out the myths: 3 months of inspired brain torrents interspersed with drawings. This collection comes with a 16-page color photo booklet and a 17-track CD of songs written during that time. These songs have become well known over the years through previous recordings and live performances but never properly released until now. Buenaventura Press. 5.25 x 5.25 in. 144 pp. Hardcover. November 2008.
