House Shape by Mount Eerie. Phil Elverum is the modern master of creating a soundscape characterized by distortion, drones and disorientation. The tension and angst he manufactures is masterfully counterbalanced by the quiet beauty of his musical progressions and his laid back, laconic vocals. As NPR recently observed, “the transportive music of Mount Eerie is rich in atmosphere and imagery of elemental forces commingling; anything can be a muse for his songs, from the moon and wind to mountains and cloudy skies.” From Mount Eerie’s forthcoming album, Clear Moon.
