opinions on this album as well as phil elverum's other music? i relistened to tgp2 last night for the first time in 3 years and was pleasantly brought back. super nostalgic in a way. glad i fell asleep before samurai sword played.i love it, but what do you think? do you see it as a pseudointellectual album or something more?
>>128569985blah blah blah not patrician enough go listen to long fin killie faggot
>>128570712hehe. will check them out :)
Is there an album like this without the faggy bad parts?
>>128571008try phil's other albums, specifically his albums under mount eeriei enjoy all of tgp2, but i think lost wisdom by mount eerie has less of the parts people tend to dislike in this album
>>128571198>Mount EerieDo you like Wind's Poem? I think I listened to it long ago but I can't remember anything about it.
>>128569985I'm a very big nerd of Phil's music, have many of his albums, rare ones like Blood, early pressings, tour exclusives, his books, the whole deal. So I'm very familiar with his discography and I have to say while cliché The Glow Pt. 2 is his most consistent vision for any of his albums in terms of quality and variety of ideas. Every album after is arguably in conversation with the musical ideas that he started with on The Glow Pt. 2. The material on Don't Wake Me Up, It Was Hot, and the singles/comp tracks that make up Song Islands are all totally inspired and awesome in their own way but his murky dark melancholic atmosphere that he would pull from for the rest of his life all comes from The Glow Pt. 2. It could be his only perfect record even if he has some huge highlights on albums made decades after The Glow Pt. 2. It's not pseudointellectual by any stretch of the imagination, it's purely emotional and sonically explorative. Mount Eerie the album is magical but highly self indulgent in a way that arguably makes it inferior as a listening experience, but it's still a massive highlight in his career and proves that his imagination is vast. I always sing the praises of the more obscure Mount Eerie records like Black Wooden Ceiling Opening and Singers, two really unique emotional explosions from him that most people don't know about. And of course his post rock era of Wind's Poem, Clear Moon, Ocean Roar, and Sauna, all massively creative and sonically explorative albums that are really underappreciated. Hell even his last album Night Palace sounds like SUCH a Microphones call back even more than the album literally titled Microphones In 2020 was, so he is an endless source of musical enjoyment for me.
Music for faggot discordtards
>>128571830But night palace has some really gay lyrics as well
>>128569985i've been listening to the glow pt 2 for nearly 25 years and i still love it
>>128569985He's a very good composer/arranger, but his greatest work is undoubtedly "Mount Eerie" (2003).
>>128570712kek
>>128569985I didn't listen this until a few years ago, at which point I had already outgrown my "sad music" phase that everyone has in their early 20s, so I didn't really get into it.
>>128569985One day I'll stay awake long enough to listen to this album in full, one day.
Glow pt 2 and mount eerie are masterpieces
Where is the part 1
>>128577487It's on one of the previous albums
>>128569985>see this constantly posted on /mu/>finally decide to have a listen>it's some angsty crybaby crapWhy do you guys have such bad taste?
>>128572382hi, op here!LOVE LOVE LOVE that album. all of the songs on there are equally good, save for the first one. it still works good as background music, though
>>128577118i think that if you had listened to it during that phase it probably would have hit much nicer. im way past that now and wa sonly revisiting. paved the way for a lot of the music i enjoy now
>>128571347i dont believe ive listened to it before! ive heard it regarded fondly though so i dont have any doubt that its good
>>128577377unironically this
