The music of MOUNT EERIE and THE MICROPHONES has always been a very personal, almost voyeuristic, view inside the mind of PHIL ELVERUM. Dawn is an archival core sample from an intensely creative period of Elverum’s life, the winter of 2002/2003 spent in arctic Norway, a kind of “lost album” finally properly recorded on just guitar and singing. Pressed on white vinyl with a special booklet of scary self portraits done in the dark window reflection in overflowing ink, vaguely corresponding to the overflowing darkness in the nineteen songs.
