Phil Elvrum AKA Mount Eerie is back at it with his second LP of 2012, Ocean Roar, due out September 4th on his very own label P.W. Elverum and Sun.
Ocean Roar follows up BPM Recommended album Clear Moon and is described as an experimental counterpoint to Clear Moon, with loose song structures, “endless chords, repeating note flurries,” and “stretched drones.” The press release also states that the theme of the album is “fogdream/obliteration.”
By god, we cannot wait.
