The Microphones | A Retrospective

► Formed in 1996 by Phil Elverum, The Microphones was a music project that changed the face of indie rock with records such as The Glow Pt. 2 and Mount Eerie. Phil is widely regarded as a highly influential musician, mostly known for his intimate approach to songwriting and endless experimentation. Though The Microphones dissolved, Phil has continued on under the Mount Eerie name. He’s a once in a lifetime artist that paints the most delicate, detailed portraits with his words.

saw him live and he signed one of the vinyls i bought he was very chill humble dude talking to everyone

[@PittsburghTimeMachine]

He wasn't weird about it? He wrote a whole essay about how he doesn't like doing that and respectively declines when asked.

[@revalone3944]

[@northstar92]

I was just thinking about Phil

[@gorryman]

it's Karl bl OU like OUCH , and Dub Narcotic no S , and Little Wings with an S , nice vid though there really is not much out there about Phil, he kind of likes to keep it that way obviously. Good on you for leaving out that which we dont speak of.
