Overview

Oh boy, get ready to feel some feelings.

The latest album from singer/songwriter Phil Elverum (Mount Eerie) deals with the death of his wife and has been described as more an aural document of grief than an album. Full of devastating lyrics, it's a beautifully honest depiction of loss.

Not unlike Elverum, Julie Byrne writes with tremendous introspection and insight. But the central relationship of writing is with nature and the perspective that the vastness of the world forces on an individual. With her rich, hushed voiced and finger-picked guitar, Byrne makes you feel humbled and powerful all at once.
