Mount Eerie - Huge Fire

Phil Elverum's most recent work featured as the last song on the collaborative album 'COLORS'.

Yet to be uploaded to Spotify so I thought I'd share it here

Lyrics:

Trying to see from in this room where it is blinding
Learning to breathe beneath the surface
Of all the wrecked up things I haul with me around

I heard singing at twilight
Trailed by belongings, I crawled forward
Into a clearing at dusk
And got a huge fire growing
It grew, night fell, and I kept throwing
Whatever I could pick up into the flames
Nothing but me and all this shattered wood I've been pulling
Into a heap of flames and smoke, this is my life
And now I've lived long enough to know
That nothing's stronger than the blow
The whipping wind, the way it tеars
The sparks are full in the sky yawning opеn
Breath only very rarely song

You were singing at twilight
With your fingers moving
And I heard the same song in a dream
And I sing it now to myself
I carry it into the night
I walk and there's a fire but it's at my back

Three days of heavy rain and there's still coals

not my music or photo obviously

[djfontaine]

song of the year and we're only 3 days in

[twiznii]

you know a bass line is killer when it literally IS the chorus

[Twyfall]

Holy SHIT this is good, track #2 cannot wait for the new album.

[TheFoxers]

Just saw him preform this live and it was so good. It's even better in person! Thanks for the upload.

I love the thrashing energy repeatedly upheaving in the background. Phil's lyrics are always starkly elemental and that's why they're so powerful. ❤‍🔥

[orangelikered]

this version will always be the best one

[toolbar]

the instrumental gives off HUGE Silent Hill vibes, Jesus.

[jerrywhoomst]

Song just keeps getting better and better the more times I listen.

[GrendelFromDC]

I play it over and over and over and over and over and over and over again

[rexdoom]

I did not know this existed!
The project on bandcamp as a whole is a fun listen and also has tracks from Karl Blau and Julie Doiron.

[baldsheep]

Easily and instantly one of my favourites by him!

I'm trying to find this COLORS album but I can't seem to find anything about it. Do you have any more details?

[eater]

why didn't anyone tell me about this

[badjuice]

anyone know where I can get this track? seems to be scrubbed off bandcamp?

[CountErie]

Crying, shitting, farting, cumming, sobbing, literally exploding, mash potatoes, uuuhhhh turning into paste
