Song Islands

by The Microphones

Song Islands cover art

Bridging the gap between his more cohesive studio albums, Phil Elverum's 'Song Islands' compiles various 7-inch singles, compilation tracks, and unreleased tape experiments. The collection spans his signature collision of incredibly fragile, intimate acoustic folk with sudden, overwhelming bursts of tape hiss and fuzz distortion. It serves as a fascinating, disjointed map of his deeply evocative and deeply prolific lo-fi recording techniques.
