User Album Review
Even awarding this work the full ten-out-of-ten would feel too callous given the tragic circumstances of the record’s gestation and its heartbreaking subject matter. Instead, you’d be strongly advised to stop reading this right now. Please, all I ask is that you just go away, sit down and listen to the music and the words contained on this LP with your complete and undivided attention.
On it, Phil Elverum (aka Mount Eerie) will reject the notion that art, music or poetry can possibly comment on the cruelty of illness and death in any meaningful or appropriate way. He will document in intimate detail the trauma of losing a loved one. He will narrate exactly what it feels like to be left behind in lonely mourning. He will do all this within the album’s first two-and-a-half-minutes in fact, on the opening track ‘Real Death’. Then he will keep on doing it, relentlessly, unflinchingly and sublimely so, for ten further songs.
Why? On 9 July 2016 Geneviève Castrée Elverum died of pancreatic cancer. She was Phil’s wife, an artist and musician in her own right, and the mother to a daughter who was born just four months before the hideously unfair diagnosis was made. Two months after Geneviève’s passing, Phil began writing and recording these songs in the room where she had died and the result is a sheer howl. A very hushed and very articulate howl, but a howl nonetheless. ---- drownedinsound.com
