    As always, that mystery resides in the sounds he manipulates. No one else sounds like Phil Elverum

    Sauna opens with the hissing and crackling of a steam room, and things get Benji-er from there.

    Sauna becomes a transitional journey of self-surrender, Elverum's soft-sung imagist perceptions slowly reaching toward a quiet, meditative transcendence. [May 2015, p.96]

    This is the first time since 2003 that Elverum fully succeeds in casting a meditative spell strong enough to suck everyone listing into its singular IRL riptide. [No. 117, p.57]
