Phil Elverum is no stranger to the magisterial Douglas-firs and omniscient owls (perhaps of Ga’hoole?) that have long stood sentinel in America’s Pacific Northwest. If 2009’s distinctly Twin Peaksian Wind’s Poem (TMT Review) was akin to taking a schvitz in the Black Lodge, then this year’s excellent Clear Moon (TMT Review) is more like playing quarters with the Log Lady then hauling a load of coke from Canada with Leo.
And we’re sure that’s exactly what Elverum’s gonna do on his upcoming trip into the spooky spooky forest this June. One show in British Columbia doesn’t even have a venue listed! So be sure to ask around the Roadhouse or just cut out the middle man and head straight to Owl Cave. Okay, all Family Ties references will halt exactly NOW
