The Microphones : Any Good?

gotcha, and yeah phil elverum is definitely outside or any obv existant scene & kind of ignored like all true mumblers

i wish i had a really good definition and examples of modern psychedelic heavy loop music because that sounds like my dream station

shall we have a thread or is there no point?

How about the band Loop? Like, duh.

i would guess that there's no point, but i'm of the floaty opinion that there is no point to pretty much anything. also, he only has this one release and there doesn't appear to be anything else at all!

How about the band Loop? Like, duh.

yeah, i mentioned them a few posts above but forgot to add a comma after chasny!

Oh! Yes.

Sauna

official release date: Feb. 3rd, 2015
This is a new and ultimate Mount Eerie album. “Vikings and zen and real life” are the reference points. All of the song titles are single words and some of the songs are very long. This is music meant to weigh heavy on you like a lot of cold water at night, and also the sword glimmering at the bottom of the lake at night.

Twelve songs, 55 minutes total, inhabiting two high resolution 45rpm LPs, super-pretty heavy old-style gatefold jackets, jumbo poster, download card… the works.

also this video i can't watch right now because i'm at work:

"they carry all of my releases year-round, not counting the forthcoming album containing these new songs."

good to see him making music and playing out again, although i don't know how he's doing it.

whoops: full size image at http://pwelverumandsun.tumblr.com/ if that's too small

I hope he knows everyone is rooting for him

Would love to go to this..I'm in Vancouver, not too far...

Saw Phil several years back when he first started out as Mount Eerie in a overly hot non air conditioned room. He would play guitar for a few songs, jump on the piano and if something wasn't right, he would stop and switch to something else. Unique experience to say the least.
