Phil Elverum has shared one other new tune from Night time Palace, his first new Mount Eerie solo album in six years. “I Saw Another Bird” is the third single he’s shared from the document, following “I Walk” and “Broom of Wind.” Give it a hear under.
“Behind the dry smirk of the title (sequelling out from A Crow Looked At Me) there are huge feelings that get opened,” Elverum mentioned when discussing “I Saw Another Bird.” “We are ridiculous little people toiling on the ground, but the sublime darts around above us always. We can pause, chill, and resume the conversation with the big unknown. This song tells how, in a toe tapping way.”
Night time Palace arrives November 1 through his personal label, P.W. Elverum & Solar. Elverum’s earlier full-length document as Mount Eerie was Misplaced Knowledge, Pt. 2, a 2019 collaborative LP with Julie Doiron. Close to the beginning of the pandemic, Elverum resurrected the Microphones for the 2020 album Microphones in 2020.
