MOUNT EERIE do not be afraid, you will be 'in the mountains', and 'in the mountains' means 'in the world', and 'the world', though dark, will hold you

.
this is the first record i got from Phil Elverum. bought at the legendary Cheap Thrills store, one year after i had been at Mount Eerie's show at Sala Rossa (in the late summer of 2004, if my memory is right).

don't know why it took me so long. don't know why i started with this obscure live-recorded split 7inch.

a couple weeks later, i got No Flashlight. still my personal fave, and a record i consider to be immensely underrated.

i totally understand if you cannot stand this song due to its 'evangelical gesture', especially if that's something you've been confronted with in your life (i haven't).


listen.
