not implying that most people pirate, but i think people would first pirate/stream on bandcamp/stream on youtube

Album Rating: 4.0

Yeah, for sure. Ideally there'd be a way to listen to music as easily/inexpensively as streaming that appropriately compensated artists.

Phil should’ve chopped this up into 40 second chunks and made that streaming dollar

The Glow Pt. 2 is my favorite work of Phil's but this is coming close to unseating Crow for the #2 spot. I love when he harmonizes his vocals and sprinkles in piano right after the distorted reverb - the atmosphere is appropriately rich following two very plain instrumental offerings with Mount Eerie.

I like how you pretend lost wisdom pt. 2 didn't come out in the chronology

"The last two albums he released under the Mount Eerie moniker were instrumentally skeletal"

Album Rating: 4.5

I honestly forgot lol. Wasn't all that big on it, or Now Only for that matter.



Amended though, thanks for the catch.

excited to give this a listen

I'd amend it further to "Much of his *recent* work under the Mount Eerie moniker" since Wind's Poem/Ocean Roar/Sauna had noise rock and avant-elements similar to this one

jk that's a fair point, I've heard those albums and knew that...edited

Oh yeah it was lost wisdom part 2 not dawn part 2 I forgot which one got a part 2 that sucked

"I'm not putting this album on streaming services. I decided I deserve to be compensated."


*puts it on YouTube*

Album Rating: 4.5

yeah that was the part I didn't quite understand

totally negates the point of keeping it off streaming services, in fact I'm pretty sure he gets no revenue for YT views (as opposed to minimal revenue streaming)

I already bought the album fwiw, but just saying

Album Rating: 2.5

just listened to this and i don't think this works for me sadly. it just too drawn-out and structureless to me. hopefully it will make more sense on a later listen

the mild interest i had in checking this album out instantly dropped to zero when i learned it's not on spotify. like colton said, it basically doesn't exist.

Album Rating: 4.0

that hurts to read tbh

Album Rating: 4.5

yeah it's a shame when people tune out an artist because they're not on spotify/apple/wherever, but the artist has to know that's going to happen. It's 2020 not 1992. I stream a lot more than I used to but if I like it enough to want to listen to it more than 3-4 times, I try to buy it if I can swing it at the moment

Album Rating: 4.5

Streaming services really wiping away everybody’s torrenting know-how, eh?

Like if you’re able, support Phil, but if the alternative is never listening just, like, do like you would’ve in 2014

the mild interest i had in checking this album out instantly dropped to zero when i learned it's not on spotify. like colton said, it basically doesn't exist.

i don't know if i care enough about phil's early recording days to finish listening to this thing

i don't know if i care enough about skylarks current thoughts to finish writing this sente
