Phil Elverum : (3)

" We had a simple 8-track studio set up in the record store where I worked. And just staying after work and experimenting, realizing what was possible with recording – that’s why my project was called The Microphones at first. Because it wasn’t even songs really. It was just sound. " - Phil Elverum

" I start with the aim of making something instrumental, and then I’m just like, ‘Agh, no, it’s not interesting enough. I’ve got to say something here.’ " - Phil Elverum

" I just play under the name Mt. Eerie. I started doing that in 2003 and I’ve pretty much been doing that since then. " - Phil Elverum
