Mount Eerie is the current incarnation of inscrutable and transfixing, plainspoken and mysterious sound maker Phil Elverum. Elverum’s distinctive self-recorded, lo-fi analog sound is known for its composition of ambitious layering juxtaposed with its delicate sparseness.
After many years releasing music under the name “The Microphones”, in 2002 Elverum changed the project name to Mount Eerie, a reference to his ties to the Anacortes, Washington area in which he lives.
However, regardless of the moniker, Elverum makes consistently mesmerizing and bold work outside any particular genre; he does so with an unaffected sense of humour that is rare in most artists.
Phil Elverum will bring his live show of intricately layered instruments and chilling harmonies to Australian shores this January
