Phil Elverum, known as Mount Eerie, is a singular artist whose work explores the intersection of personal memory, myth, and sense of place. His distinctive lo-fi sound, meticulously crafted on analog equipment, evokes the raw beauty of nature and everyday life. Elverum's lyrics delve into the human experience, transforming ordinary moments into the sacred, and often referencing earlier works, creating a cohesive and immersive artistic universe. His visual art, including photography and drawings, complements his music, offering further layers of interpretation.

Dawn, an intense memoir, delves deeply into an intensely creative period of Elverum's life, with a beautiful mix of journal writing, jokes, photographs, and music. This hardcover collection chronicles Elverum's winter spent alone in a cabin in arctic Norway, wrestling with ghosts, gathering wood, acting out myths--3 months of unfiltered brain torrents interspersed with drawings. It comes with a 17-track CD of songs, pared down to just guitar and vocals, written during that time, songs that have become well-known over the years through recordings and live performances. The music of Mount Eerie and The Microphones has always been a very personal, almost voyeuristic, view inside the mind of Phil Elverum. bull; Also included is a 16-page color photo booklet
