In 2013 Phil wrote a longish scathing article on Mount Eerie's Primavera Festival experience, posted it wherever he would post stuff at the time and then took it down after only a few days.
I saved a screenshot but then had a computer crash and lost it. Does anyone have it? it was was very interesting -- classic Elverum.

I remember that article too, I didn't know it had been taken down. I'll try to track it down, so far it seems to have disappeared from the internet...

I'm pretty sure the full criticism was something Phil posted on his Twitter account, which he has since deactivated. The best I could find was this interview: www.pitchperfectsite.com/phil-elverum-interview.htmlQ: Can you tell us about any interesting experiences you had playing live? Phil: The other day we played at a huge festival, Primavera, in Barcelona. It was a ridiculous joke. We were on a huge stage and super loud, and the huge neighboring stage was drowning us out with their sound. Every element of the experience was so deeply alienating, such an immense barrier to having any kind of music-related feeling for the performer or the audience. I hate huge music festivals. Plus, huge corporate sponsor ads everywhere and beer and garbage. Who would like that? It is the worst.
