The Gauntlet Reviews Mount Eerie’s “A Crow Looked At Me”

Mount Eerie‘s A Crow Looked At Me is currently the top-reviewed album of the year, according to Metacritic – and still the positive responses continue to come in from people who’ve taken a bit more time to process the LP. The Gauntlet is one such outlet, writing in a recent review that the album “captures the profound sadness of loss in a way that few pieces of art manage to [capture].” According to the site, “A Crow Looked at Me is a different type of album. Each track is stripped bare — Elverum’s lyrics are streams of consciousness that detail moments of grief in dealing with his loss. His voice is conversational and frank as he sings about his wife — things she enjoyed, where her memory persists and what being in her old room feels like. His songs are even more structureless and direct than usual. Suffice to say, it’s not an easy listen.”
