Phil Elverum is an artist and human being from the Pacific Northwest town of Anacortes. His recordings, released variously as The Microphones and Mount Eerie, represent just a portion of his artistic output, which has ranged from running a label and co-organizing festivals to self-publishing books, photography, and painting. But it is for his stunningly original music that he is known best, from the earliest tape experiments of the ’90s to the immersive sound-diary of Microphones in 2020. Elverum has never shied from exploring the high mountain passes, finding new ways to sculpt with sound, and trying to communicate the momentary experience of being human as clearly as the water from freshly melted snow.

From the critics:

“So simple, so tactile, so deceptively real are these songs. 9.0/10.” —Pitchfork

“Mr. Elverum has always been an impressionistic lyricist, but here, the line is blurred between singing, speaking and raw emotional data dump...So intense are these songs that it feels almost impolite to refer to them as art.” —New York Times
