Woah!
Can't' wait to hear more details about 'Oceans Roar'! Personally, I'd love it to be some real heavy rock album (like Black Wooden Ceiling Opening)

PressRelease(?):
In this first of two new albums planned for release in 2012, Mount Eerie presents a monumental work of depth and maturity. These are songs about a quiet life in and around a small northwest town, usually buried in fog, and the unexpected moments of clarity that briefly flash through. Clear Moon is the resonant lone bell symbol, the glint in the water, the sudden breath.
For over thirteen years Phil Elverum has been releasing beguiling records from and about the Pacific Northwest, first as the Microphones and since 2004 as Mount Eerie. The thread has sometimes been challenging to follow, meandering into weird EPs and live experiments, but there have always been punctuations of cohesive sound and idea, made giant; The Glow pt. 2 (2001), Mount Eerie (2003), Lost Wisdom (2008),Wind’s Poem (2009), and now Clear Moon (to be followed later this year by its companion album, Ocean Roar).
After all the world-touring that followed the release of Wind’s Poem, Phil Elverum has spent 2 years establishing a new recording studio, “the Unknown”, in an old de-sanctified church in Anacortes, Washington. These 2 new albums, Clear Moon andOcean Roar, are the first Mount Eerie recordings to be released from the new old space. You can hear the giant wooden cathedral room in these songs. Vast echo, resonating gongs, impenetrable walls of thickness, and always a voice cutting through the fog, moon-like.
The sound is not lo-fi as it is sometimes called. It’s also not hi-fi. These are just crazy recordings, bigger and deeper than any real-life fjord. It’s 100% analog, and it is a sound that can only come from 15 months of studio solitude, crushing tape, riding waves of fake strings, finding new angles on “intensity”. The music of Popol Vuh was inspirational, as well as explorers from black metal such as Menace Ruine, Nadja, and others. Contemporaries in theme can be found in the heavy sacred regionalism of Olympia’s Wolves In The Throne Room. Ultimately, this is music on its own island, unlike anything else; a break in the clouds and a view of a hidden new landscape.

Yeah definitely. Sounds kinda drone-y too. This should be cool to listen to.

Wow, this sounds great! Clear Moon sounds like it could have been in the "Eyes Wide Shut" soundtrack. A bit creepy, but in a good way.  Can't wait to listen to the whole record!

How do you guys feel about the cover?
It reminds me of something in a bad way. Not on par with the rest of his record covers.

where can you hear this in full?

I like the cover art. It speaks Mt. Eerie
Apart from the early microphones stuff I almost like everything Phil does. his pictures, songs and art. I'm very happy to be here on earth at this time and get the chance to see him.
(Man i'm so dramatic, sorry)

ah sorry, i meant i'm super excited to hear it in full (in the future when it's released). i heard a couple of the new tracks live when he played chicago last year, but that 30 sec sample was my first taste of lone bell and it kinda blew me away
