Mount Eerie announces "Phil Elverum is Super Great" tour, probably because Phil Elverum is super great

Phil Elverum is great. We can all agree. If you like the works of Mount Eerie/The Microphones, then you already know that he is great. If you do not like the works of Mount Eerie/The Microphones, then look into the closest mirror and slap yourself with your right hand. There, now you know that Phil Elverum is great.

Because Phil Elverum is great, it would be similarly great if he went on tour with Mount Eerie. Fantastic (read: great) news everybody, Mount Eerie is going on tour! Prepare for your eardrums to be crushed by chunks of blistering guitar. Prepare for aforementioned eardrums to be subsequently strained through attempts at hearing whispered vocals and the world’s most lightly strummed guitar. It’s not just a party for you, it’s a party for your ears.

Many of these upcoming Mount Eerie dates will also feature appearances from drone-metal kings Earth. You may know Earth from the fountains of praise bestowed on them from this very website. And those fountains of praise may seem familiar simply because they resemble the fountains of praise we employ for the purpose of telling Phil Elverum that he is great. If neither band performs in front of a banner reading “TINY MIX TAPES LUVS U 4EVER,” then mistakes are being made. It’s a thing that they could do, as well as a thing that they should do.
