Greystash Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 http://pitchfork.com/news/52119-phil-elverum-releasing-lp-of-re-recorded-and-auto-tuned-mount-eerie-songs/ Last year, Phil Elverum released two Mount Eerie records: Clear Moon and Ocean Roar. This year, he's releasing an album called Pre-Human Ideas, where he re-recorded tracks from both of those albums with Auto-Tuned voices. It's out November 12 via his own P.W. Elverum & Sun label; listen to the re-recorded version of "Lone Bell" above. Although the tracks on Pre-Human Ideas are reworked songs from Elverum's discography, the album's one sheet notes that there are also "newly written lyrics, almost like new songs layered over the old ones, expanding and clarifying the ideas."

Samdroid Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Even if this came with no actual music, I'd buy it for the album art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I saw this yesterday and completely forgot to post it! Clear Moon and Ocean Roar are both excellent, I'm interested to see how this turns out. I hope it doesn't feel too much like a novelty album. Phil's prices are usually reasonable, so I have a feeling I'll end up ordering this eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Phil is such a troll, if you haven't go read his twitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greystash Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 Nah, sorry but I can't take this seriously...it just sounds like a big joke to me.

Shelby Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I'm like the biggest Phil fan but I'm not gonna fuck with this lol. Maybe if the picture disc has a cool enough jacket, but I def won't ever spin this Greystash 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greystash Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 That'd be the only record to get framed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 True that! I'm just waiting for pics of the packaging before I drop $28 on something I think is dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoon Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I strangely dig this quite a bit. The instrumentation is so warm and soothing compared to the originals and the cheesy vocal effects come across pretty nicely at some points (I Say "No" in particular). Having said that, I'm a huge Phil fanatic and could just be convincing myself otherwise in order to keep my collection complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I'm in for the standard edition. No interest in a picture disc or spending an extra 11$ to have it. wellnow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
