Mount Eerie

To preface this review, I should admit I'm a little bit biased: my adoration of Phil Elverum's music started when I was 13 listening to the Microphones' The Glow Pt. 2 before I even really knew what it was to love music. It's been a part of my sonic landscape for a very, very long time and has been internalized in ways I probably don't even realize.

I Am Living in Fattal

September 12 2012 // Magazine // Features

I moved out of the plateau to get out of the bullshit frosh celebrations that McGill kids hold dear to them as the "best week of their lives". I'm also in a band, so we had to find a way to live and play loud music without disturbing anybody.  Put those two stipulations into priority, and you'll probably end up in St Henri like I have.
