	The Microphones: Mount Eerie (2003): Reviews
		Mount Eerie would be a gorgeous record even if the vision behind it didn't fall somewhere between Biblical allegory and Greek myth, but the drama makes it all the more stunning.
		While Mount Eerie is not on the same level as The Wall or Tommy, it is a remarkable effort by a brilliantly talented band.
		Mount Eerie doesn't work outside of its concept and, to the detriment of the songs, the album is so intensely personal that melody and song structure give way to abstract conceptualism.

	Mount Eerie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mount Eerie is an Anacortes, Washington-based band fronted by Phil Elverum.
		Elverum, in an interview with discorder (September 2003), gives his reasons for this change: "Mount Eerie is a new project.
		The first Mount Eerie studio album was No Flashlight, released on Elverum's own label, P.W. Elverum and Sun, Ltd at the "What the Heck Fest" In Anacortes, WA on July 16, 2005 and commercially released on August 16, 2005.

		Mount Eerie is a medium-sized mountain in a town where the next biggest thing is probably the new Walgreens on the corner where the little church used to be.
		Staring at Mount Eerie provides the curiosity needed to start wondering “what’s out there,” and “what does it all mean,” thus fueling a 40-minute album of progressive wandering.
		Mount Eerie is not only the first great album of the new year, but also the best concept album since The Flaming Lips introduced us to Yoshimi.

	Observer Newspaper - Scene
		Mount Eerie is a true album — not a slapdash pentad of future-singles cobbled together in a shrink-wrapped jewel case.
		Mount Eerie reckons with the same human need as "The Waking," Theodore Roethke's villanelle: the need to fit ourselves into the cycle of life and the cold, impersonal natural order.
		Less concept album than mythopoeic reverie, Mount Eerie is gorgeous and laden with drama and abstract wisdom.

		The album is concerned with death in all of its forms -- the end of a day, of a life -- not in a morbid way, but as a necessary transition or as the answer to a question (which, of course, only provokes more questions).
		Even more personal and overflowing with detail than the Microphones' other work, Mount Eerie is a truly stunning album, managing to be deeply beautiful and unnerving, as well as deeply thoughtful, without ever seeming pretentious or heavy-handed.
		2 might still be the most perfect distillation of Elvrum's style to date, at the very least Mount Eerie proves that his ambitions and his ability to express them are growing at an exciting rate.

		A group of pretty female voices swells behind him as he calls out to his estranged beau: "I know you're out there..." "Solar System" is the closest that Mount Eerie comes to having a standard "song," and its fadeout brings side one of the album to a relaxing close.
		The song "Mount Eerie" can be divided into three distinct parts, and rightfully so, since each of these parts was written and recorded by different people.
		Mount Eerie is a near-perfect symbiosis of words and music that restores a bit of dignity to the usually laughable concept of the "rock opera." After making music this unhinged, I am completely befuddled as to where Phil Elvrum could possibly go next without either artistically regressing or completely losing his mind.

	Mount Eerie: No Flashlight: Pitchfork Record Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		No Flashlight, Mount Eerie's first studio album, comes with a huge poster/map/Farmer's Almanac thing, which is meant to help explain the music and look pretty doing so.
		Mount Eerie, his last record as Microphones, tackled-- in language that was difficult despite its puerile concision-- the Sun, Solar System, and Universe, plus ol' Mount Eerie herself.
		Here, Elverum's a lone sojourner; Mount Eerie's gray performances put the diffident singer cruelly in the foreground, where he founders.

		II, and concluding with 2003's Mount Eerie, the first fusion of the two concepts into one project.
		With the release of 2004's Live in Japan, Elverum's notion of the Microphones changed, particularly since none of the songs on the live album appeared on the studio albums, a possible acknowledgment made by the use of quotation marks around the band's name on the album cover.
		Differentiating between the goals of the Microphones and Mount Eerie, he notes: "Even within the projects, the subjects changed from album to album.

	Cokemachineglow.com : Mt. Eerie: 11 Old Songs
		Mount Eerie’s deluge of releases has turned out to be an abacus for the second half of the past year, hypnotic and desensitizing, counting days with abnormal regularity.
		The gist of Elvrum’s projects under the Eerie name, so far, have maintained a consistent attitude; conversationally epic lyrics, meandering vocals, confusing “melody,” and an infuriating economy of sound are expected, predictable even when considering his bulbous discography.
		The story, as told, tells of Phil Microphones Elvrum staying in arctic Norway one winter, returning from the Night as Phil Mount Eerie Elverum, and these are the songs he found in between.

		The Microphones last album came out in 2003; Mount Eerie was named after the mountain under which Phil spent his childhood in Anacortes.
		Mount Eerie was a symphonic, experimental concept album that told a story and was a fitting end for The Microphones.

		Eerie received mixed reviews and thus, Elvrum slowed his productivity, releasing only a live album and an online EP in the two years since.
		Elverum’s liners are an interesting read that offer a peak into a true musical eccentric that, for the first time in his career, seems to inhabit the common desire to be fully understood by his listeners.

		After 2003’s Mount Eerie, Elvrum dropped the Microphones name and adopted that of said record for his new project.
		In this sense, the new record is a fitting continuation of the themes and sounds explored on albums such as Mount Eerie and The Glow Pt.
		Furthermore, the collaborations that were a hallmark of records such as Mount Eerie are largely gone.

	Craig's Music Club reviews the Microphones' Mount Eerie and Jethro Tull's Thick as a Brick
		Mount Eerie is the Microphones' musical idea of the universe, from creation to the present--including a stunning visit with Death itself.
		Eerie: In which, on a precipice, you watch your killer roll up and kill you.
		Jethro Tull's Thick as a Brick was the first such album I ever heard, and thus I will always place it on a revered pedestal long after it has been surpassed in both form and content by albums like Mount Eerie.

	indieville: review: the microphones - mount eerie
		Five tracks long, Mount Eerie is The Microphones' follow-up to last year's The Glow, Pt.
		Though peppered with immense amounts of non-accessibility, including bouts of noisy feedback and slow, non-melodic drum parts, Mount Eerie is still perfectly engaging.
		With the perfect balance between "pop" and "non-pop," this is the best (and least self-absorbed) concept album to come out in ages.

		Mount Eerie is an epic tale of life and death.
		Taking you on an unforgettable journey through both your questions and fears, Mount Eerie will have you laughing nervously and mourning the loss of something you never knew.
		From its airy, almost ghost like presence to its harrowing guest vocalists (including Calvin Johnson as the voice of the "Universe"), Elvrum's acoustic-based songs and light, subtle instrumentation fillings, Mount Eerie is both a nightmare and a dream.

		The atmosphere of "Mount Eerie" is its backbone, and that was set in the opening minutes (many minutes!) with all the weird drones and drumming.
		"Mt. Eerie" is one of those albums that must be listened to in its entirety to be fully appreciated, and appreciate I did.
		Eerie is an album that must be a approached at a very different angle than most other music.

		More or less a focused, continuous musical work, Mount Eerie was an oddly cerebral rock opera of sorts about both worldly and personal discovery.
		Eerie received mixed reviews and thus, Elvrum slowed his productivity, releasing only a live album and an online EP in the last two years.
		If you think that Mt. Eerie is his best album then it's likely you'll be blown away again as I was.

		Here he developed his sense of personal coherence with the mountains, the moon and the universe that would sooner become main themes in his musical production.
		Little would he know that in years to come his person would become one of the synonyms to American independent music and that his future records under the pseudonyms of The Microphones and Mount Eerie would become some of the most fan worshipped and critically acclaimed releases on the American independent scene.
		After having put out minor cassette releases and 7 inch records on a small local label the signing with major player K Records (Beck, Modest Mouse, Beat Happening) in 1999 was where it all began for Elvrum.

		And then there’s a fat chorus, like Mount Eerie but immediate; a call and answer with the forces of nature but more demanding.
