Phil Elverum, connu sous le nom de Mount Eerie, est un artiste singulier dont l'œuvre explore l'intersection de la mémoire personnelle, du mythe et du sens du lieu. Son son lo-fi distinctif, méticuleusement conçu sur des équipements analogiques, évoque la beauté brute de la nature et de la vie quotidienne. Les paroles d'Elverum plongent dans l'expérience humaine, transformant les moments ordinaires en moments sacrés, et font souvent référence à des œuvres antérieures, créant ainsi un univers artistique cohérent et immersif. Son art visuel, incluant photographie et dessins, complète sa musique, offrant des couches d'interprétation supplémentaires.

Dawn, an intense memoir, delves deeply into an intensely creative period of Elverum's life, with a beautiful mix of journal writing, jokes, photographs, and music. This hardcover collection chronicles Elverum's winter spent alone in a cabin in arctic Norway, wrestling with ghosts, gathering wood, acting out myths--3 months of unfiltered brain torrents interspersed with drawings. It comes with a 17-track CD of songs, pared down to just guitar and vocals, written during that time, songs that have become well-known over the years through recordings and live performances. The music of Mount Eerie and The Microphones has always been a very personal, almost voyeuristic, view inside the mind of Phil Elverum. bull; Also included is a 16-page color photo booklet
