P.W. ELVERUM & SUN, LTD.

Early May 2012- We’re working hard assembling many new things. Visit our new download store where you can buy all our releases for cheaper than elsewhere and fewer companies nibble the money along the way. In the physical realm, we have just launched the 2nd version of Mount Eerie pts. 6 & 7, the crazy fancy photobook+10”. It’s the same book, same music, but with a new poster/dustjacket and new picture-disc vinyl art. Also there are 3 random Mount Eerie 7 inches coming out this spring (on Atelier Ciseaux (this one’s already sold out), Tomlab, and Graveface). The big new Mount Eerie album Clear Moon comes out on May 22nd, and you can pre-order it now in the store or digitally. In September the even bigger (weirder) companion album Ocean Roar will arrive. Beyond that, lots of touring and northwest shows. Then we start repackaging the earlier Microphones albums. It never ends. Don’t look away.

ELV026- “Ocean Roar” by Mount Eerie – LP+download (September 2012)
Part two of the pair, this portion going deeper into the fog and wall of noise, still asking, half remembering a dream of a midnight road trip to the ocean from 20 years ago.
ELV025- “Clear Moon” by Mount Eerie – LP+download (May 22nd, 2012)
Part one of a pair of records exploring a living place as a modern questioning person, walking around and looking at things for 80 or so years before disbanding back into dirt.
ELV024- “It Never Was You” by Nicholas Krgovich – 7inch+download
a 7” single of this hot new hit track by Nicholas Krgovich (No Kids, Mount Eerie) backed with an a cappella mix of the same song. Here you’ll find rare footage of an early version being performed live at What The Heck 2010.
ELV023- “California Lite” by KEY LOSERS – LP+download
unanimously pre-designated as a classic album, the new full length release of Katy Davidson’s (Dear Nora, Lloyd & Michael, Katy Davidson) finest-ever songs, recorded with a super-group in Anacortes. This is thrilling.

ELV021 – “White Stag” by Mount Eerie- CDR : (out of print) Songs recorded inside an old building in Portland, Ore., trying to summon an imagined mystical origin from the hidden mud, doubting, cursing. Recorded sloppily and fast as part of a residency through the Univ. of Oregon there. interview
ELV020 – “Wind’s Poem” by Mount Eerie- double LP/CD double album, epic and weird, featuring Nick Krgovich of Vancouver’s No Kids, the 3rd “real” Mount Eerie album after No Flashlight and Mount Eerie pts. 6 & 7. Here is a music video for the song “the Mouth of Sky”.

ELV017 – “Dawn” by Mount Eerie- LP : out of print The same songs as the ones on the book/CD from Buenaventura Press, but on vinyl, no book. Just a record. These are all the songs that were written during the winter of 2002/2003 in north Norway, played on just guitar with singing. flattering review here
ELV016 – “Black Wooden Ceiling Opening” by Mount Eerie – 10”+CD : FOR SALE 6 songs recorded with the November 2006 Mount Eerie “hard core” line up which was Kjetil Jenssen of the Spectacle, the enigma Jason Anderson and Phil Elverum. Our fastest and loudest achievement so far.
“ELV015” – “ANDO-PR – 36 page book (out of print) ??a portfolio of writing and collage work. Recipient of the World’s Top Hilarious Joke Award. Here are some samples.
ELV014 – “Mount Eerie pts. 6 & 7”* – 132 pg. book + 10” picture disc : FOR SALE This music is the sequel to “Mount Eerie” by the Microphones (2003), but the photos are from all over the world from the last 10 years. They have been hung on the walls of the rooms where all the other Mount Eerie/Microphones music has been born. Also, this is the biggest and best thing we’ve ever made. Mount Eerie revealed.
“ELV013” – “Rope or Guillotine” by the Spectacle- LP : (out of print) letterpressed/silkscreened covers, letterpressed words booklet… The Spectacle is a band from Bodø, Norway that is already broken up. I became friends with them in 2002 when I showed up in their town and decided to stay. I had never heard music that sounded like that, or seen that kind of dark energy so focused. I am happy to be releasing this record (their second of 3) because I could never manage to make music like this myself, although I try.
“ELV012” “Don’t Smoke/*Get Off the Internet” by the Microphones*: 7” (out of print) white or clear vinyl, letterpressed covers. This was a new single by the Microphones, released in January of 2007. Two punk songs telling you what to do.
“ELV011” – “Welcome Nowhere” by Thanksgiving – double LP+CD : out of print A fancy reissued version of our “ELV000”, this time with a whole extra record of lost songs from the sessions. This is one of 3 records that was recorded in a hexagonal hut on top of a high remote hill above a lake with eagles and military jets, looking out over islands. The beginning of our moving studio called “Nowhere”. “Welcome Nowhere” is a CLASSIC ALBUM, straight up. This new version is totally remastered and sounds 1,000,000 times better. Glossy full color gatefold jacket, tie-dyed colored vinyl, CD, excellent songs.
“ELV010” – “On Earth” by PEACE – CDR (out of print) Once we released a CDR by a band from Kamloops, B.C., Canada. At the time it seemed like a good idea. We blew $75,000 on studio fees alone. I guess it was a learning experience.
“ELV009” – Gris” by Woelv 10” / CD : FOR SALE Geneviève made these 4 long songs in preparation for a tour of Japan. They turned out to be too good for just a tour thing so we released it. They are an attempt at “prog rock” she says. Drones and mind bends. Sung in French.
“ELV008”- “No Mystery” by D+, LP+CD, (out of print) White vinyl, CDR, lyric sheet, letterpressed covers. D+ is a band made up of Bret Lunsford, Karl Blau, and Phil Elverum. We are very relaxed about it. The songs are Bret’s. We all live in Anacortes and in Feb. 2006 we made a new record (our 5th) in the mornings.
“ELV007” – “Thanksgiving (pt. 2 of 3)” by Thanksgiving tripleLP+CD (out of print) This was jointly released, Dec. 6th 2005, by Marriage and us. A triple album by Thanksgiving. Beautiful triple gatefold. Red, white and blue vinyl. We technically released the white one. Excellent songs home recorded. No filler, almost.
“ELV006” – “Nobody’s Perfect” by Mount Eerie – (never released) This live recording was perhaps once intended for physical release but ended up only being released on this one music website.
“ELV005” – “No Flashlight” by Mount Eerie LP+CD (out of print) This is the first “real” Mt. Eerie album. It came out in the fall of 2005. It holds the world record for the world’s largest record cover.
ELV004- “the Drums from No Flashlight” by Mt. Eerie LP (out of print) We felt the drums on “No Flashlight” sounded good enough to listen to by themselves.
ELV003 “11 Old Songs” by Mt. Eerie LP+CD+2 booklets (out of print) 11 songs made up during the winter of 2002/2003 and recorded later, sung over the top of primitive electronica. Half joke. Half funny.
“ELV002” – “SINGERS” LP+CD (out of print) Over the years whenever a large group of people was in the studio doing some singing on a recording I tried to get them to sing one of my songs, maybe play a few instruments. (Hello, I am Phil from Mt. Eerie.) “SINGERS” is the name of this collection of various recordings. Some are from live shows with the audience singing. All of them are “singalong” songs.
“ELV001” – “Mount Eerie Dances With Wolves/Wolf Mountain Howls In The World” version 2 (out of print) On that tour of Australia Mt. Eerie became a big pickup band of Australians and recorded these 2 songs direct-to-lacquer in a cool studio/pressing plant compound in Melbourne.
“ELV000”- “Welcome Nowhere” by Thanksgiving (out of print) Our first acual release. It is the 3rd? album by Thanksgiving. It came out in October 2004. We are now reissuing it in a deluxe way.
“ELV00negative1- “Mt. Eerie Dances With Wolves/Wolf Mountain Howls In The World” version 1 (out of print) The Australian version of ELV001, made on the spot.
“ELV00negative2- Seven New Songs of Mt. Eerie” – (out of print) This is 7 songs that were originally recorded for a tour of Australia in 2004. It wasn’t a real release. Just some CDRs in a photocopied cover. No big whoop.

“Egil’s Saga plus the Saga of Ref the Sly” read aloud onto 7 C.D.s (out of print) I made this as an all-purpose present for my family in late 2005 but decided to make a few extra copies. I’ve been told it’s actually pretty hard to listen to.
