KRUI Favorites The Microphones, and KEXP Talks To Phil Elverum

Iowa City’s KRUI highlighted The Microphones’ The Microphones in 2020 as one of its favorite releases of August, writing that “the continuous building and receding of the instrumentation lulls the audience into a sense of peace that is both disconcerting and comforting. Phil Elverum softly ambles his way through the narrative of his life and career, sometimes unsure of his footing, sometimes blissfully confident.” See the feature here.

Elverum also recently spoke with Seattle’s KEXP, touching on topics  including “maintaining his DIY and indie approach to music-making and defying the streaming era model of money-making by releasing such a long song and avoiding streaming services altogether.” Listen here.
