Bandcamp Talks To Mount Eerie

Since the release of Mount Eerie‘s A Crow Looked At Me – the pensive, tragic reaction Phil Elverum crafted in response to the death of his wife, Geneviève Castrée – many longtime fans have wondered what will happen with Mount Eerie in the future.

I’m not so inspired to do that now. I want to engage the brain.” That revelation comes at the end of the interview, which also covers the creation of the album, the imagery of its lyrics, and the meaning behind the photo that graces its cover.
