Who went to the mount eerie record store show? How were

Yeah some guys showed up wearing masks of his dead wife, he started crying like a big baby, ran out of the store, tripped face first on the sidewalk because someone tied his shoelaces together when he wasnt looking

>>70166732
But how was the music?
You know this is a music board right?

>>70167502
the /pol/ invasion has really done a number on our on-topicness

>>70167502
I didn't have time to listen to the music I was too busy tying his shoelaces together without him noticing

>>70166732
Is this real?

I saw a post about people showing up with masks earlier so it sounded believable. The only part that was questionable was the shoelace part

>>70166686

No clips of audio, it was requested people not record. Show was fantastic, no mask people lol. In terms of music, his voice was kind of shot, so his vocal range was not the usual, but he sounded perfect, at least for these songs. It was VERY focused on Genevieve's death and he jumped between brutally detailed, straight-forward descriptions, and his more usual metaphorical lyrics. A lot of themes of death and the reality of it.

Will Toledo was there too. I can post a pic as proof.

>>70169784
cool very cool

post that pic of will too

Yeah, if you have any other questions I'd be down to answer them.

Pic related is one I took with Will b4 the show.

>>70169907
this question nearly woke the sleeper agent in me

>>70170015
did you ask if you could kiss him

>>70170015
Do you see what happens?

>>70169992
Honestly I wouldn't have been surprised lol

>>70170015
This looks like someone cosplaying as Will but I still believe it's him.

>>70170015
woah blurryface was there too

>>70170015
so there are literally no recordings? :(

>>70170015
did he interrupt the show to "casually" mention his own music

>>70170042
I was too busy mumbling like a crazy person about who much I loved him.

>>70170054
I didn't think it was him until everyone started being like "ahhh I love Twin Fantasy". Then my inner rabid CSH fan came out lol.

>>70170088
I'm not sure. I didn't record, out of respect (he seemed shaken/sad enough already), but they had someone officially recording, so that might get released down the line.

>>70170088
Just wait dude, it's going to come out soon. Wait for the album and you can hear the songs except they will be recorded in a studio and not on some guys iPhone through his pocket lol. Phil himself said it would be dropping soon

>>70170144
Hahaha no, honestly he was pretty chill. I got need be a douche but he was rlly quiet.

>>70170208
there is something special about live recordings though
>>70170150
>but they had someone officially recording, so that might get released down the line.
any guesses on how long?

>>70170208
Yeah, they said within 4 months

>>70167837
thats not his house, no black shed in the back.

>>70170243
I'd say after the album drops, so like probably before the summer.

>>70169784
>>70170015
>Will Toledo was there
What the fuck?

>>70170295
My reaction exactly, I almost went into a coma lol

>>70169784
How were the new songs different to the old songs besides 'death'.
He write any songs about his kid?

>>70170088
I got a shit-tier recording of one of the last songs from the back of the room.

Sorry Phil.

>>70170388
His kid was mentioned more, but I feel like, if he does the album like the show, it will be much less focused on the elaborate instrumentation (tape loops, distortion, etc) and more on his voice and the lyrics. He also was much more direct in the lyrics themselves, less use of metaphors than previous albums. I feel like he's stripped back everything as a result of his experiences in the past year.

Did anyone cry during the show?

>>70170525
Many people. I was sitting next to a guy and his wife and the guy was just sobbing. There was a few collective sobs/gasps when he referred back to a line from The Microphones

>>70170516
I have a feeling this is gonna be a great album.

>>70170396
holy shit

>>70170570
>referred back to a line from The Microphones

Elaborate.

>>70170570
>here was a few collective sobs/gasps when he referred back to a line from The Microphones

Holy shit, please don't tell us what line. This is a kind of thing I don't want to spoil

>>70170525
I was sitting near Will and I kept looking back at him because he looked like he was going to cry

!?

>>70170668

Is this actually the line?

HOLY FUCK.

>>70170516
Very cool. I was just wondering since phils stuff at the root without all the experimentation was always different and precise. Glad it was a good show

>>70170584
>>70170606
>>70170669
I was too blown away by the use to remember the exact line, but I'm 99% sure it was >>70170668

>>70170015
what a fucking punchable nu-male that guy is

>>70170396
You put way too muh effort into this

>>70170668
Honestly wish I haven't seen this, it would certainly made me cry if it was a surprise.

>>70170688
>>70170757
No, I mean maybe it was but I was just joking. I posted that cause I thought it fit.

He mention at all what the album will be called?

I'm pretty sure it was that, but I was also crying, internally freaking out, and also very sick (got a cold) and tired, so i could entirely have forgotten. I feel like it might have been either that or something out of the glow pt 2 (the song) or through the trees pt 2. He definitely made other obvious references to other lines in his discography, don't worry.

Speaking on that, there was a lot of what seemed like reflection on his musical career with slight touches on other motifs he's covered.

>>70170823
No.

What did he say before and after the show? Did he talk inbetween his songs?

>>70171135
He said almost nothing. Very focused on the music, and I think he was a little overwhelmed by both the whole 'everybody wanting to see it' and the music/lyrical content itself.
He showed up immediately before the show, walked out, mentioned his voice was not in good condition, then started playing. Before the second to last song he mentioned the no recording thing and that the album would be out soon. Then before the last one he said that afterwards he was just going to leave, and he did. He finished the lady song and walked out.

Fucking hell, this album sounds like it's gonna be incredible. I just wish it wasn't like this. Poor Phil.

>>70171192
*last

If pitchfork snub this I am personally going to burn down Conde Nast HQ

Hopefully his new album isn't a total shit like his most recent one was.

>>70171271
Sauna was good.

>>70171271

>>70171271

This was not the line. The line was

[spoiler]I went back to feel alone there[/spoiler]

but there may have been others that I missed. Amazing concert though and a really sweet and respectful audience I felt.

>>70171611
YES THAT WAS IT. Thank you for clearing that for me. I thought I was going insane lol.

>>70170668
There was another line from the microphones

"I went back to feel alone"

Anyway i too was at the show, right in front of Phil.

I don't want to spoil much unless people wanna hear but man it was rough. The 2nd song he played in particular almost made me cry.

For anyone there, it was the one about the backpack

>>70171713
No dude that was a hard one to listen to. The one that got me was the second to last one, that referred to the pulsing tower lights or something like that.

>>70171611
And yeah, I thought there would be more autistic /mu/tants there but everyone was really chill.

>>70171739
I'm also from Anacortes. Grew up there. Made it especially hard. The tower of lights he was singing about is the oil refinery on the other side of the island. At night you just see these columns of lights and it's kinda beautiful.

>>70171812
duuude, really. I feel like I can imagine my own versions of these things, but that I'm never realistic to what he was going for.

Being here for the first time (I live in Victoria, BC, if anyone from there wants to hang out), I was struck by just how much more I could understand his albums, being here. Also Village Pizza post-show was fucking prime.

>>70171812
Lemme just say Anacortes is a beautiful town. Drove up there a few hours before the show and got a chance to walk around for a bit. Really clear where the inspiration for so many of Phil's allusions to nature come from.

>>70171850
Yeah, his music is especially meaningful to me having grown up in anacortes.

I moved away from there, to shitty rural Missouri when I was 16. Awful place, hated it. after a few years living there and missing anacortes, i stumbled on the microphones having no idea he was from there too. I was blown away first listen, had such vivid feelings and memories of the beaches and forests I walked around as a kid. Never had such a vivid experience listening to music before

I ended up looking him up to find out more and when i saw he was actually from anacortes my jaw just fucking dropped. So happy i live back in the northwest now

>>70171871
it's a great town
it's just a shame it's so expensive and it's just a lot of retirees

>>70171871
>>70171850
>>70171812
Is it that strong of an influence? I've always wanted to go to Anacortes to see how it relates to Phil's music. Would it be worth it to stay for a week or two to soak up the vibe? I've never been to the Pacific NW and have always gotten the impression that it's highly representative of that region.

lol will

(hes actually super nice we talked for awhile)

>>70171922
very strong. it directly inspires stuff a lot. that low horn you hear on the glow part 2 is based off of the foghorns of all the ferries.
It's not worth staying more than a week, there's just not that much shit to do. but if you can make it, go for it. hike up mount erie, go to the record store The Business and hang out and talk to the owners. walk around the lakes.

>>70171922
I'm from the Vancouver area, and there's definitely a feeling associated with the Pacific Northwest, and it all ties into Phil's iconography and style.

>>70171922
Yeah it definitely is, if you come up here, come over to Victoria and hang out lol.

>>70171912
One if the reasons I decided to go to UVIC in Victoria was cause it was so close. I'm not gonna get to do it this time but ever since I started reading into Phil's work, I've wanted to hike Mount Erie and listen to The Glow Pt 2 and Mount Eerie (the album)

>>70171963
>>70171955
Very tempted to make the trip. I've loved Phil's music for 7 years or so and I've always wanted to see the misty mountains and shit Phil has so many pictures. I'm probably only ever going to make it out to the PNW once, would you say it's the best place to go to understand the atmosphere?

>>70172030
I mean, if you're talking about Phil's music specifically, yeah it's no doubt the best place. It really does feel like he managed to just take the place and turn it into a sound

>>70172030
I'd also like to know. I live in Kelowna BC and Phil's stuff always sounded so good while going on hikes, looking at the lake, shit like that

>>70171955
Will was so chill. I think I almost died tho. Dropped spaghetti, but I think he understood lol. And yeah riding the ferry in and seeing Mount Erie over the town and the trees and ugh, wow, it was almost too much. Even Victoria/Vancouver Island doesn't do the exactness of Anacortes' atmosphere justice.

>>70170786
I'm sorry that anon spoiled that for you, don't worry though I'm sure you'll still love the new stuff!

>>70171271
>what is fucking Ocean Roar

>>70170516
aw shit. Dawn 2.0 incoming

>>70171260
Pitchfork throws a bone to straight white men if they're releasing music under the context of personal tragedy. See: Skeleton Tree

>>70172814
I honestly was thinking that while listening

>>70172884
Yeah same here, you're not the only one

>>70172907
i'm from vancouver island and i really wanted to go, but decided not to after his facebook message. sounds like i'm the only person that listened to his request lol

really hope he comes up to bc. i've never seen him live and i have all his records

>>70173040
He'll come to vic for sure. I was talking to the ditch records guys and they were saying that phil loves victoria and comes there all the time. He actually met Genevieve there I guess. At least that's what I've been told.

>>70171192
It sounds like this whole album and tour cycles going to be really rough for Phil.

>>70170015
nice ushanka fag. did you travel back to 2007 and steal it from some scene kid
