It's up on Bis Aufs Messer and I grabbed it as well as bookmarked that site. When I get together some more cash I'm gonna fill out some of the other Elverum gaps in my collection. Thanks again @mesi

Yeah, like always. Super sturdy gatefold, with lyrics printed on the inside of the gatefold.

Bis aufs Messer from Germany will definitely get copies (they always carry a bunch of Phil’s releases), and Flight13 (Germany) have also put up a preorder.

Edit: It looks like Flight13 also carries other releases now.

It is here.
 

Yeah, that might be the case for US folks, but for us Europeans they are still great. You can preorder a ton of stuff with pretty low international shipping, and they ship everything by itself once it is in hand. So you never have to worry about additional VAT or import taxes because you only get one record at a time, which is awesome.

Just came to post about the new press. Here is how mine came out:
 

So ready for this!

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. Time continues.
