Yeah he's such a buissnesman. That's why his songs are constantly playing on the radio... goddamn retard!

I wouldn't be surprised if his wife told him to write about her death after she died. She probably knew it would be the best grieving tool for him.

>>71029270
>he thinks the radio is the only way to get paid
dont forget his gofund

He's using all of you to exploit his wife's death to cash in with shit songs with sad lyrics. You're all a part of the problem.

>>71029293

shit, dude

>>71029239
imagine being so cynical that you think that he would write an album about the death of his wife (and the mother of his not barely one year old daughter) for the reviews and the little bit of money he gets for the record.

>>71029336
answer me this. how else would he make money to feed his kid?

>>71029239
>18+ music board

>>71029349
Not him but he makes money off his music sales. Also, touring which he is going to start soon.

>>71029388
>Not him but he makes money off his music sales.
yeah and thats why it wasn't enough to help pay for his wife's medical bills

> Also, touring which he is going to start soon.
hmmm and what songs is he gonna be playing on this tour
oh yeah THE NEW ONES FROM THIS ALBUM

>>71028944
literally the saddest shit i've ever heard. especially since i lost someone precious to me in the past week. how the fuck is it ever going to stop hurting?

how the fuck does he manage to even get out of bed in the morning and write these songs? how did he manage to form a reality in which his wife doesn't exist anymore? Just can't fathom it. Fuck.

>>71029406
>yeah and thats why it wasn't enough to help pay for his wife's medical bills
Yeah, and that was a lot of money to pay out of pocket.

>hmmm and what songs is he gonna be playing on this tour
>oh yeah THE NEW ONES FROM THIS ALBUM
Do you know what catharsis is?

>>71029434
It's very cathartic to express yourself into art. That's probably what Phil is doing to cope. Also, her death was certainly not unexpected, so he probably had a lot of time to prepare for it.

>>71029434
>how the fuck does he manage to even get out of bed in the morning and write these songs? how did he manage to form a reality in which his wife doesn't exist anymore? Just can't fathom it. Fuck.
People deal with pain differently. He may deal with it by making and performing music and not simply sitting alone but that does not mean the pain isn't still crushing every second.

>>71029445
>Yeah, and that was a lot of money to pay out of pocket.
yep and now he needs more to feed his kid.
can't blame him for making money out of you suckers

>Do you know what catharsis is?
yep im sure it is. thats why hes charging us to listen to this experience with him. thats part of the healing

good job Phil you've got some real suckers on your hands

Do you cancerous retards even listen to music? Do you even understand how emotions work? I know most of you are probably baiting but this is fucking ridiculous

This isn't very sonically interesting, and he isn't exactly a great lyricist. While he's obviously in a very emotional space, going through a lot and should do what helps him I can't help but be underwhelmed by the music itself. I have only heard The Glow and Mount Eeeries S/T before, and both are filled with fun and interesting musical ideas, and not awkwardly written lyrics about life trauma.

>>71029528
Try to feel the emotion in it, that's the whole point. I find it profoundly moving despite it not being especially structurally or sonically ambitious

>>71029528
>listens to track about artists wife dying
>"why isn't this fun????"

>>71029434
>how the fuck does he manage to even get out of bed in the morning and write these songs?
His daughter.

>>71029594
lyrically hes just saying
yeah my wifes dead with some basic chords

think u guys are overrated it based on your personal connection with phil

>>71029878
if that's what you get out of the lyrics you might be unironically autistic.

>>71029900
break it down to me then!

>>71029239
Get the fuck out of here, edgelord.

>>71029484
>yep and now he needs more to feed his kid.
>can't blame him for making money out of you suckers
Except he didn't need to make an album to feed his kid, you tard.

>thats why hes charging us to listen to this experience with him.
As compared to all the other times where he did it for free, right? God you are stupid. You are just trolling and you know I know that you know.

>>71029878
>think u guys are overrated it based on your personal connection with phil
Well yeah, he's the one singing the song. You're acting like context isn't important.

This

I'll be honest, I think since I've never really lost anyone or anything important in my life, these songs aren't really resonating with me. I love Phil's work and have bawled my eyes out to stuff like Dawn, but I feel like a complete sociopath listening to these songs and feeling absolutely nothing. I think the way he's presenting these feelings is really interesting and theoretically effective, but it's kind of distressing that it's coming off so sterile to me.

>>71028944
made me cry :'(

>>71030262
Exactly

>>71029159
Read her autobio stuff, she grew up in a really broken home and almost never interacted with her father until she was older, it probably killed her knowing her child isn't going to be able to do something as simple as talk to her.

>>71030311
I think he knows that too. He knows that he can't properly convey the connection he felt to his wife, and that no matter what he says noone will be able to fully understand but even so he still feels like he NEEDS to talk about it. Things need to be said. So instead of being poetic he's quite literally just saying what the fuck is on his mind.

Thank you based Phil for fighting cancer at every turn.

Is he going to make it? I'm 100% serious

The last song had sad lyrics but didn't do it for me musically.
This, on the other hand, ruined me.

My first listen was a little underwhelmed but I blamed it on shit speakers. So I listened with headphones, where I could fully absorb the song, and man what an intense listen! The part about giving away Genevieves clothing fucked me up. I guess i had never fully grasped the components of having someone REALLY close die.
Also sonically there is a lot going on in the song, esp. towards the end, building up. Pretty sure I heard a hidden piano. Overall, devastating and beautiful. The new album comes out a day before my birthday. I guess thanks Phil??

Pretty excited about the new album even though it's depressing as hell. The album art is kind of "eh" though...

>>71033028
The "M" in mount eerie makes me crack up.

>>71029111
Hmm I wonder why the songwriter of twenty years would use songwriting as a form of emotional expression and coping.

>>71028944

this is really REALLY gay

This is heavy shit

At first I wasn't feeling the >>71029108 lyrics but the lo-fi feeling of it makes it feel so intimate. Some of the lyrics are awkward and the vocals are pretty badly-mixed but it doesn't even bother me because of how brutal the content is.

From Mount Eerie bandcamp:

WRITTEN AND RECORDED
August 31st to Dec. 6th, 2016 in the same room where Geneviève died, using mostly her instruments, her guitar, her bass, her pick, her amp, her old family accordion, writing the words on her paper, looking out the same window.
Why share this much? Why open up like this? Why tell you, stranger, about these personal moments, the devastation and the hanging love? Our little family bubble was so sacred for so long. We carefully held it behind a curtain of privacy when we’d go out and do our art and music selves, too special to share, especially in our hyper-shared imbalanced times. Then we had a baby and this barrier felt even more important. (I still don’t want to tell you our daughter’s name.) Then in May 2015 they told us Geneviève had a surprise bad cancer, advanced pancreatic, and the ground opened up. What matters now? we thought. Then on July 9th 2016 she died at home and I belonged to nobody anymore. My internal moments felt like public property. The idea that I could have a self or personal preferences or songs eroded down into an absurd old idea leftover from a more self-indulgent time before I was a hospital-driver, a caregiver, a child-raiser, a griever. I am open now, and these songs poured out quickly in the fall, watching the days grey over and watching the neighbors across the alley tear down and rebuild their house. I make these songs and put them out into the world just to multiply my voice saying that I love her. I want it known.
"Death Is Real" could be the name of this album. These cold mechanics of sickness and loss are real and inescapable, and can bring an alienating, detached sharpness. But it is not the thing I want to remember. A crow did look at me. There is an echo of Geneviève that still rings, a reminder of the love and infinity beneath all of this obliteration. That’s why.

>>71034389
Yes anon using real life experiences and tragedies to make art is a cash grab and should never be done.

Can people just stop replying to the edgelords that think they're being insightful? As if that isn't the laziest possible take you could possibly have on art like this...

fuck. I can't stop listening to this and crying. Phil i am sorry for you. I'm sorry that you had to go through this.

Got this and all his wife's material lined up to order at some point. Delivery to England is going to fuck my arse.

It feels wrong hearing these songs. Like it's something I shouldn't be hearing. I feel sad, but I also feel uncomfortable. Like I'm rummaging through someone's personal belongings.

>>71036021
You're not the only one, man

His tweet about people emailing him is funny and deeply sad at the same time.

phil elverum kind of has the isaac brock problem, when he's on, he's one of the absolute best of the best, but when he's off he's pretty mediocre, and he's off a lot

and honestly phil doesn't reach the same crazy songwriting heights that isaac brock has hit unfortunatley

Ugly Casanova's Sharpen Your Teeth came out in 2002
and it's one of the best things he's ever written

>>71028944
i wonder if he will tour with this

>>71028944
how the fuck could he possibly remember all those lyrics

I love it though. It's like a stream of consciousness while going through the stages of grief.

>>71040216
Fine I guess but wasn't Ugly Casanova were more or less leftover songs he wrote for Modest Mouse? either way I agree, I fucking love that album

>>71029159
u can go away now

>>71031313
I think he will. He's got a huge, compassionate community of friends and artists out there supporting him. Plus his new baby of course.

>>71040583
>but wasn't Ugly Casanova were more or less leftover songs he wrote for Modest Mouse?
No. It was material he wrote outside of Modest Mouse for the purpose of it being its own thing.

>>71033103
I wonder if Genevieve wrote it, perhaps in her last days? I know her handwriting used to be flawless as seen in her own books/art.

Christ, I've never really been into Mount Eerie but this song is killing me. I need to lay down for awhile

>>71040727
The M kinda looks like an open-mouth face, if you look at it sidewise or maybe I dunno. If she wrote it, that'd be a sweet touch.

>>71029023
kek how do people like you even enjoy artistic mediums of any sort?

>>71040727
>>71040910
it actually looks like mount erie

i assume the point of the cover is that phil didn't want it to be some big artful thing so he just threw some stuff together

It feels kind of perverse listening to this when I have never lost anyone close to me. I've lost family friends and an aunt and grandmothers but I never felt that feeling of "you're gone and I can't live without you" like when you see someone every day but then you just can't. I'm trying to imagine it in my mind, losing your best friend must be one of the most painful things in the world.
