Mount Eerie Previews 1st Album In 5 Years ‘Night Palace’ With 2 New Singles

Phil Elverum will release a new Mount Eerie album, Night Palace, on November 1 through his P.W. Elverum & Sun label. Elverum shared the singles “Broom Of Wind” and “I Walk” from the forthcoming first Mount Eerie album in five years.

Elverum issued the Mount Eerie album Now Only in 2018 and the collaborative album with Julie Doiron, Lost Wisdom pt. 2, in 2019. Those two albums, along with the 2017 Mount Eerie album A Crow Looked At Me, were released in the aftermath of, and directly dealt with, Elverum’s life experiences that included fathering a daughter with his partner Geneviève Castrée who died of pancreatic cancer a year later.

In 2020, Elverum revived his Microphones moniker (which was replaced by Mount Eerie) and issued the concept album, Microphones in 2020. The 26-track Night Palace is said to be “a return to the beloved deep analog fuzz world of the Microphones’ the Glow pt. 2 (2001) and the many thickly embroidered Mount Eerie universes that have followed.”

The single “Broom Of Wind” arrived with an accompanying video. Watch it and stream Night Palace track “I Walk” below:

Elverum will follow the release of Night Palace with shows in November in Los Angeles and New York City. Mount Eerie concerts will take place on November 19 at Warsaw in Brooklyn and on November 21 at The Bellwether in Los Angeles. Tickets go on sale on Friday, September 6.
