The Microphones is an alias for Washington state-based Phil Elvrum, who returns here with a five-part concept album named after a mountain in his home state. The album is also being released in two limited edition alternate versions, one an a capella version called "Singing from 'Mt. Eerie,'" and one a drums-only version (!) called, naturally, "Drumming from 'Mt. Eerie.'"

this cd is genuine, a very personal work with a lot of deepness.. it takes a while to get into it, but once you do.. you'll be amazed by it's unique beauty
Whitney O gave it a 10:
I can't believe those bad ratings... There is absolutely no reason for them to say this album is a joke. Phil is one of the most important artists of our time!!! Believe it...
Elliot gave it an 8:
It is surely a good album, but it's no The Glow, Part 2. Now THAT is an incredible album. Perhaps the greatest "lo-fi" recording ever? Regardless, The Microphones are immensely talented, but Mt. Eerie just hints at the magic they're capable of.
Dom S. gave it an 8:
Almost oversteps the line between an artist's indelible experimental outing and a bombastic, beautiful mess. Or maybe it does overstep the line. Regardless, short, tiny moments (like Death's voice or the deep humming beat that begins this record where "the Glow, pt. 2" left off) make this record one of the year's most engaging.
Brandon W gave it a 10:
This album is truly beautiful. One of the most heartbreaking albums about life and death ever. The only way to listen to it is very loud, under the influence, and via headphones.
Phineas P gave it a 10:
If you can't connect emotionally to this cd, that's ok. Not everybody does. But you can't reject the massive artistic album Mt. Eerie is, and the fact that it's nothing like you've heard before. if you like music, give this a chance.
something to forget gave it a 4:
I've really tried to like this cd, probably harder han I should, but it just isn't there
