Review

Let's dive into 'Night Palace', the latest sonic adventure from Mount Eerie. Phil Elverum's back, and he's brought along his trusty analog fuzz and distorted feedback for the ride. This double album is a beast - 26 tracks, 80 minutes of pure, unadulterated Elverum. It's like he's taken all the best bits from 'The Glow pt. 2' and other Mount Eerie gems, thrown them in a blender with some Zen meditation vibes, and hit puree.

The result? A wild tapestry of sound that's as much about the spaces between the notes as it is about the music itself. Elverum's weaving in smashed tape, breathing air organs, and the crackling of tube amps like it's no big deal. And don't even get me started on the nature sounds - river water, rain, ocean waves. It's like he's brought the great outdoors into your headphones. The lyrics? Raw, intimate, and sharp as a tack. Elverum's tackling everything from decolonization to talking with fish, and somehow making it all make sense. It's a journey, folks - one that'll have you coming back for more, long after the last note fades away. - Wynter
