As I recall that's the song titled Taking Out the Garbage and he when he goes back inside he's letting their bedroom air out so that whatever is left of her will be gone.

Who is this? First time here, but these lyrics are giving me a Daniel Johnston vibe.

If you don't care for others sadness or can't comprehend other people's emotions then you prolly won't like it and are still juvinele. Which explains most of the trolling. This board has too many kids.

>>71657053
being a big fucking manchild who cries about some guy who they don't even know's wife dying and his shitty singing about it doesn't make you mature, it making you an overly emotional nu-male.

>>71657015
Roughly 90% of the people on this board are regular gross 4chan users. This isn't the best site to go find an answer to that question because everything is a meme here. Like when David pajo attempted suicide. It was so disheartening to see all the mindless mockery. But we live in a fucked up world.

>>71657053
Recommend a song I just keep finding interviews.

It ain't that great. I get it, he's suffered insurmountable tragedy and I'm glad he's able to continue what he does. But honestly he's taken a dive since taking the mount eerie moniker. I could assume the grief on this album and make something more out of it, but I really just don't wanna.

>>71656785
Are you in middle school?

>>71657077

>>71657053
oh fuck off. the poor woman's death unfolded in real time over the internet, and her husband wrote a very naked album about it. everyone's still riled up; the music cannot possibly be judged accordingly until we're ten years detached into the future. i'm already dreading the fucking cheesy, melodramatic "folks, don't forget that trump is gonna tear up obamacare!" reviews this is gonna get

We should all pitch in and buy him a sex doll .

>>71657117
No, but you gotta admit its somewhat amusing to think of a mount eerie album called "No Fleshlight"

Not even memeing...come on, its chuckle worthy...

DUDE TRUMP'S A FASCIST LMAO

I just need a song name guys

>>71657085
Album hasn't been officially released but it's available for streaming for free on NPR. If your new to mount eerie No flashlight is really good.

>>71657185
Check out the 3rd song on this new one

"A Crow Looked At Me"

i had no idea he had a new album out lol

Dear Phil,
Please, whenever possible, put more copies of susceptible and other works by Genevieve for sale. I will buy multiple copies. Thanks.

Dear Phil
Please, whenever possible, put the ashes of you wife Genevieve for sale, i will cum to her memory, also put your daughter for adoption. Thanks.

Dear Phil

Sure most people on this website suck but really this is one of the few places I can discuss Phil's work outside of my circle of friends and whatnot.
There's good here, just VERY lacking in that department. Sorry you hate fellow Phil fans (and idiot memelords)

>>71657682
I don't think most posters on this thread are fans.

I'm gonna go back to my hentai gifs and 2-liter mountain dew.
Oh wait I'm an actual person.

This album is only good because she died. Hmm, guess it only exists because she died... Damn Phil you got me haha

>>71657665
You'll realize that your parents aren't going to be there forever, don't worry.

>>71657712
You're probably right.
The internet is a double edged sword. Its just so much fun shitposting that when a dude like Phil comes around with something incredible ("unique" "beautiful" etc) it just gets swallowed by the meme machine. Its not Phil personally being fucked with, (although I guess it is in a way) its just the nature of the majority.
I hope that makes sense, its been a long day.

Man this is pretty fucking sad, I'm not memeing right now

regardless of whether you think his wife aka another human being dying is "funny" or makes you feel better somehow- regardless, his new album is incredible and will last a lot longer than anything you could create

Why the fuck did mocking this man for his wife dying become a thing?

>>71657824

>viewing the essence your dead wife not as the material substance that made up her body but rather as parts of the natural world that surround you is an unoriginal metaphor

off yourself edgelord

>>71657933
that's some sappy cliche bullshit, anon

>>71657903
The way I see it, its just the fact that hes a well-known guy and shitposters see an opportunity to be assholes because, well, we live in a fucked up world. So many anonymous fucks are ruthless behind their screens. Its completely nihilistic and ridiculous the way some people attack others because kek he made that album.

just because his wife died does not make his music or cliche lyrics good.

>>71658057
Let's be honest, its gonna happen with or without the attention just so long as attention is somewhat achievable.
Meme....Me! Me! Look at me! Even if you don't I still want you to!

Haven't listened to this album yet but is at least better than the underwhelming album that was Sauna?

>>71658114
Yep. Although sauna was pretty good at times, the songwriting wasn't up to par on a good majority of tracks. Good production though, if a bit cluttered up.
This new album is much more direct, straight as an arrow. Funny how sauna was supposed to be Phil's sharpest record. Sharp in the way that a rusty blade can still cut you.

>>71658114
its not better of worse than anything, youve never listened to an album like this, it sounds very different than his previous work, its very simplistic.

if you lost someone close to you and youve gone through real grief it will resonate with you in ways no other album has before, at least thats what happened to me. ive cried to sparklehorse because of the realness of his painful lyrics, this is kind of similar but even more intense, phils descriptions of whats hes been through feel very honest and real.

>>71657903
When he decided to exploit her death to sell records. It's cheap and in bad taste

>>71658089
Give me literally one other instance from any media where an artist spreads their dead wife's ashes in front of a sunset, but acknowledges the hollowness of the act as he views essence as belonging to the sunset and not the ashes

If its such a cliche I bet you could find me literally one fucking instance.

>>71658187
Actually a very fair point. He's selling the fucking file for $9 when he should just be giving it away or certainly a name your price. That's hiw little faith he has in his fans? I bet a ton of people would have paid more. How much could his overhead have been in this album? What a joke.

>>71658244
>>71658187
who the fuck cares man? he has a kid to raise, he needs the fucking money, hes an artists why would he give out his work for free?

>>71658231
It can be seen as a variation on this meme

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AshesToCrashes

LOL SO DEEP ITS NOT THE ASHES DAT MATTER

>>71658267
For the exact same reason shitloads of people have name your price on Bandcamp for a fucking file.

>>71658244
I'm pretty sure you have the option of paying more than the price on band camp. I'm not entirely sure if that's the deal with every BC or just an option the artist can take. I bought a grouper record, 15 bucks, but I chipped in a bit extra.
So...yeah.

>>71658187

pitchfork is giving this album a 10. i haven't even listened to it and they're gonna give it a 10. it's literally just ticking all the fucking boxes

This thread sucks. I doubt most people who hear this record are gonna think "ah what a fuckin shill this Phil dude is for creating fine poignant art about grief"
Most people will be those with feelings, and they will cry and hug the ones they hold dear a little more.

>>71658322
Checked.

This place is cancerous.

>>71658268
That is literally a page about the slapstick joke of knocking over someones ashes. That has nothing to do with this.

Again, give me one instance. He's literally just telling of an individual experience he actually had and you are calling a real human experience a cliche.

One instance.

>>71658268
the way that page explains it, that trope is a comedy thing where the symbolic importance of the ash is used to shock when it's knocked over and spilled. if the ashes didn't matter the trope would be pointless. so it's not really relevant to that guy's point.

note: I haven't heard Phil's album and I likely won't, I just felt like pointing that out about your trope link

>>71658352
I'm pretty sure that "experience" never happened.

>>71658299
He's selling records and cds just not on bandcamp. Both for $20 each. Gee I wonder why they aren't for sale on Bandcamp. I wonder if they have rules about advertising other websites on their pages. I should probably report him.

>>71658364
Give me one other instance.

>>71658364
Even if it didn't though, the effect of the song remains.

does anyone have the mount eerie flowchart? i would appreciate it a lot.

>>71658369
No, apparently bandcamp pages can advertise other website products for free.

If this isnt exploitation then what is? If he's that concerned with taking care of his kid then maybe he should get a real job. Or maybe score a fucking movie? A few commercials? If anyone would even buy his shit. Otherwise hit the factory, pal.

>inb4 this album gets insane amounts of praise from every music publication because dead wife

I mean it's essentially critic proof because if any person wants to seriously critique it, they look like a fucking asshole. I gave it a listen through and jesus christ this album is morbid as shit.

It feels like something so intimate you shouldn't even be hearing it, like you're listening to this sad fuck make these songs in his cold ass room

Props to phil for making some money off of his dead ass wife, the guy is pretty fucking smart

>>71659620
>like you're listening to this sad fuck make these songs in his cold ass room
because he did. Apparently he made this album for literally free.

PHIL? PHIL ELVERUM?

imo if you don't kill yourself after someone you supposedly really really love dies, you don't actually love them

and if you have the energy to compose, record and produce a bunch of songs, then perform them live and make money off it, that's just more proof you didn't care about them

>>71659654
>somebody took the time to make this

you're literally not allowed to make money as an artist of any kind, that's selling out and you're literally not allowed to base any of your art on traumatic personal experiences, or they must be disingenuous

>>71657146
Agree. Phil is entitled to his grieving and whatever creation comes out of that, but reviewers are going to inflate their praises simply because of the circumstances. Some of the lyrics on this album are absolutely inexcusable and derivative, and thousands of less established artists would get shit for using them.

>>71658322
Dubs confirm

>>71659562
>artists making money off their art? FUCKING RIDICULOUS

>>71656105
So I listened to a bit of it and I have some mixed feelings. Obviously it's powerful as fuck and I really feel that Phil does a good job of communicating his feelings and experiences about such a terrible situation.

On the other hand I feel like I get a Antlers - Hospice vibe from it. Where it's great, but the overall sadness of it will prevent me from doing a hand full of listens to it ever. The other thing is I feel like Phil makes musical/songwriting decisions that under all most other circumstances would just be not great particularly with flow of the lyrics or the weakness of some of the melodies. On one hand it makes the music come across as more direct, but I feel like if he hammered out these songs a bit more they would stand on their own musical merit more so than the narrative merit.

>>71656660
Lmao it isn't even even a metaphor. He's literally saying his abstract thought of his dead wife is the sunset.
