  1. PopMatters

    The true achievement of Mount Eerie's Wind's Poem is the redemptive arc Elverum finds within the black metal context.
  2. Tiny Mix Tapes
    90
    As invigorating as the first half of Wind's Poem is, its second half is where a filmic sensibility arises and the music becomes at one with the listener, the sounds yielding way to both chaotic and calming images as waves crash and subside.
  3. Drowned In Sound
    90
    This is a terrifying, wise album.
