There are some venues that seem to be created for certain bands, and I whole-heartedly feel that the Parish is here to host acts like Mt. Eerie. Phil Elvrum’s work, either with the Microphones, or with Mt. Eerie, has always been intimate and gentle. I can’t imagine another place that would be as suited to host Phil’s work on Thursday, as the sound at the Parish is definitely going to bring you closer to Elvrum’s music. He’s already released two great albums this year, Clear Moon and Ocean Roar, and he’ll be bringing those tunes to life for you. If you’re in need of something emotionally affecting, then you need to make your way to see Phil on Thursday night.

New Mellow Jam from Mount Eerie

August 17, 2012 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

It looks as though we’re going to wrap up our great week here with the mellower side of things, and I’m perfectly okay with that. We’re nearing the release of the second Mount Eerie album, from Phil Elverum this year; Ocean Roar is supposed to be contrasted with Clear Moon, which came out early in 2012. When listening here, I feel as if this track is dominated by the percussive element, even though it’s lightly placed in the background. Phil quietly sings atop it all while a hint of atmospherics moving in and out. Really, there’s no one making music like Phil.
