The Microphones went out with a bang on this one, combining their lo-fi fuzziness and almost noise rock-ish tendencies with a more experimental sound that distances it somewhat from their other works while retaining their excellent songwriting, lyrics, and atmosphere. Like
The Glow Pt. 2,
Mount Eerie also has a narrative that really helps tie the album together into what is, arguably, their most focused and filler-free package. (As much as I love
The Glow and
It Was Hot, there are several tracks that both could do without.) Not to be confused with Phil Elvrum's solo project of the same name.
