Pre-order here: http://www.pwelverumandsun.com/store#mounteerie Now Only, written shortly following the release of A Crow Looked At Me and the first live performances of those songs, is a deeper exploration of that style of candid, undisguised lyrical writing. It portrays Elverum’s continuing immersion in the strange reality of Geneviève’s death, chronicling the evolution of his relationship to her and her memory, and of the effect the artistic exploration of his grief has had on his own life. The scope of Now Only encompasses not only hospitals and deathbeds, but also a music festival, childhood memories of conversations with Elverum’s mother, profound paintings and affecting artworks he encounters, a documentary about Jack Kerouac, and most significantly, memories of his life with Geneviève. These moments and thoughts resonate with each other, creating a more complex and nuanced picture of mourning and healing. The power of these songs comes not from the small, sharp moments of cutting phrases or shocks, but the echoes that weave the songs together, the way a life is woven. The music, fully realized by Elverum alone at home, is fleshed out texturally and seems to react to the words in real time. In a moment of confusion, dissonance abruptly makes itself known; in a moment of clarity, gentle piano arises. On the title track, the blunt declaration of “people get cancer and die” is subverted by a melody that can only be described as pop. As Elverum reinvents his lyrical process, he is also refining his musical vocabulary. Elverum’s life during the period he wrote Now Only was defined by the duality of existing with the praise and attention garnered by A Crow Looked At Me and the difficult reality of maintaining a house with a small child by himself, as well as working to preserve Geneviève’s artistic legacy. Consumed with the day to day of raising his daughter, Elverum felt his musical self was so distant that it seemed fictional. Stepping into the role of Phil Elverum of Mount Eerie held the promise of positive empathy and praise, but also the difficulty of inhabiting the intense grief that produced the music. These moments, both public and domestic, are chronicled in these songs. They are songs of remembrance, and songs about the idea of remembrance, about living on the cusp of the past and present and reluctantly witnessing a beloved person’s history take shape.

You can try RTK: http://realtomatoketchup.bigcartel.com/product/oxbow-thin-black-duke-lp

I got one. I read somewhere (prob on the SH forums) that the colored pressings were sent out randomly, but the black variant is the rarest.

Still waiting for SGNL>05 to be repressed...

Look what arrived on my doorsteps today: Excited to dive into the book tonight!

WELL VIVE LA FUCKIN' FRANCE, MAN

Well there was that one year where Government Plates was released on BF RSD.

I'll echo that sentiment. How are the RSD stuff distinguished from all the other regular releases on that day?

I'll lump this in since it's the same reissue campaign; lemme know if I should post it elsewhere. I saw the recent reissue of Analphabetapolothology at a local store, and I'm surprised by the glaring typos on the backside. I wonder who at Epitaph let these slide...

Got the /300 non-picdisc one

Got shipping notification!

Hopefully this means that the EPs could get repressed at some point. I'd love to get a copy of Tremelo...

Guess if we want anything MBV-related we have to play by Kevin's rules all the way to the end. Also, good on Kevin for not trying to price-gouge these.

So in for this once the US Amazon links pop up. EDIT: Gave in, ordered from mbv website

Since there's some drama in the other thread that just popped up, here are some additional places to PO (incl. a repress of Nocturnal). Miasma Nocturnal

Quick bump, found pre-orders for regular 1LP budget versions on Amazon. Not sure if they're using the same half speed mastering for these ones as well. Here Come The Warm Jets Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy) Another Green World Before and After Science
