Night Palace arrives on November 1st.
Phil Elverum has announced the release of a new album as Mount Eerie.
Night Palace is scheduled for release on November 1st and will mark the American singer-songwriter’s first album to materialise under his beloved solo banner in five years. A significant undertaking of 26 tracks, the successor to 2019’s Lost Wisdom, Pt. 2 was recorded over a two-year period and is billed as a spiritual sequel to the Microphones’ landmark 2001 album The Glow pt. 2.
A press release shares,
“This is a return to the beloved deep analog fuzz world of the Microphones’ the Glow pt. 2(2001) and the many thickly embroidered Mount Eerie universes that have followed. Smashed tape, breathing air organs, crackling tube amps and a welcome living reality just outside the open window all entwine to push the definition of what’s ‘home’ and what’s ‘studio’, of what’s a ‘song’ and what’s at the heart of the unmediated idea itself.”
