Eleven Old Songs of Mount Eerie

Mount Eerie

Eleven stark, skeletal songs recorded with nothing but a cheap Casiotone keyboard and a hushed voice, capturing the absolute isolation of a Norwegian winter.

December 6, 2005 · P.W. Elverum & Sun, Ltd.

A cheap keyboard hums in the dark, framing quiet vocals that feel like cold wind through floorboards.

An unprecedentedly vulnerable atmosphere emerges from these recordings, exposing the raw, unshielded solitude of a writer shivering alone in a Norwegian cabin.
