On Mount Eerie’s latest effort, Phil Elverum managest to transform is usual sounds and emotions into a repetitive, drone-y, and sometimes ambient musical experience. Mostly, it’s beautiful, but a few moments felt a bit overlong to me. Plus, despite being well over 40 minutes, I didn’t come away from this album feeling completely satisfied with the songs and material I was dealt. Still, it’s a very solid album. Phil keeps the sounds of Mount Eerie potent, strange, and emotionally affecting while changing things up enough to keep his musical trajectory interesting for longtime fans.
