RCR Reviews The Microphones in 2020

River Cities’ Reader goes deep in its review of The Microphones In 2020, the newest offering from Phil Elverum. Though he returns to the Microphones moniker on this release, RCR writes that “Elverum’s vocal style in recent Mount Eerie music continues here, a rubato and even-toned delivery that has evolved from his more pop-adjacent, succinct songwriting to a state of extended stanzas and circuitous sentences that seem to run on from line to line, passing through multiple recollections in one phrase or zooming out from the specific to the general on a dime.” Read more delicious prose about the project right here, and be sure to spin the entirety of The Microphones In 2020 this week on your show.
