Mount Eerie - A Crow Looked At Me (March 24, 2017) Album • Page 9

Not sure if this will place super high on my list but Ravens is certainly a top 3 song this year.

 

Funny, because sometimes I put this album on when I go to sleep because the music itself is so hauntingly beautiful.

 

Never listened to the Microphones or any other Elverum projects for that matter but I checked this out yesterday and it knocked me on my ass. Just unbelievable grief in the lyrics. I love this album, though it is very tough to listen to.

 

my jaw hit the floor and made a hole to china when i the first time i heard the You are the sunset stanza

 

Just reading this thread is giving me feels.

 

Pretty sweet cross-genre rec

 

This is my aoty despite only listening to it 3 times. I still cant get into the glow for whatever reason--il keep trying.

 

I also want to say that the first time i listened to this album i got only half way through and needed to stop because it made my feel physically ill.

 

The two passages from this record's lyrics that I keep thinking about:

I can't remember, were you into Canada geese?
Is it significant,
these hundreds on the beach?
Or were they just hungry
for mid-migration seaweed?
What about foxgloves?
Is that a flower you liked?
I can't remember;
you did most of my remembering for me.
And now I stand untethered,
in a field full of wild foxgloves,
wondering if you're there,
or if a flower means anything.
And what could anything mean
In this crushing absurdity?

and

There is nothing to learn.
Her absence is a scream
saying nothing.
Conceptual emptiness was cool to talk about,
back before I knew my way around these hospitals.
I would like to forget and go back into imagining.

 

I cannot stop listening to this album as of late. When I Take out the Garbage at Night might be one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard.

Also, this super random, but if you like this, you might like Karen O’s work on the Where the Wild Things Are soundtrack. I get a similar vibe.

 

Triple post, but I’m pretty certain this has usurped Clear Moon as my favorite Mount Eerie album. This is just one of the most powerful albums I’ve ever heard and I’ll probably never hear anything like it again.

 

I'm late and only halfway through but this is intense and heavy and beautiful and I am very sad and gonna be for a while

That Sunset line is so gorgeous

 

Lol, this is old but I had never seen it before. It’s funny.

 

holy fuck. the end of seaweed

 

jesus christ: do the people around me want to keep hearing about my dead wife?

 

Lately, this has been my favorite song on the album. It's unreal. This and When I Take Out The Garbage At Night

 

I now wield the power to transform a grocery store aisle
into a canyon of pity and confusion
and mutual aching to leave

As far as I am concerned, that's genius

 

He’s been playing a couple new songs called “Distortion” and “Tintin In Tibet”

This video is months old, but I didn’t realize he’s played anything new

 

When I saw him a couple months ago half the set was songs from this album and the other half was all new stuff.

 

I think I mentioned it before, but there is a video on youtube from a show in Poland from a month ago or so, and according to the guy who posted the video Phil told him that there will be a new album in March.
