Product Description

Immerse yourself in the hauntingly beautiful world of The Microphones with their 2002 release, "Song Islands." This slowcore and indie folk masterpiece, released under the independent label P.W. Elverum & Sun, is a captivating journey through 22 tracks that span just over an hour and eight minutes. The album, with its intricate layering and raw emotional depth, showcases the unique storytelling prowess of Phil Elvrum, the mastermind behind The Microphones. From the introspective "Bass Drum Dream" to the hauntingly melancholic "I Can't Believe You Actually Died," each song is a testament to Elvrum's ability to weave profound narratives with delicate, evocative melodies. "Song Islands" is not just an album but a collection of moments that linger long after the final note fades, making it a standout piece in the indie folk genre.

This 2013 Remastered 2LP set is housed in a gatefold.
