“I think of Mount Eerie as this fall of 2001 thing. Thats when I got the idea for it. It took me a while to record, maybe six or eight months. And then it came out kind of a while later kind of because it takes a while to make things so I think it came out in 2003. January maybe? But by that time, it was old to me. By that time I had moved on. It was old ideas and I had probably changed my band name to ‘Mount Eerie’ by then. I moved out of my house in Olympia in June of 2002, I moved out of the Track House but not into anywhere, I just moved into my pickup truck and I thought this is what Ill do forever or for as long as I can. It was for sure a turning point. For me, thinking about it now, it sounds like the album of…I wish there was another word category between childhood and adulthood (laughs). Is there? Adolescence? Its not adolescence exactly but its also not quite adulthood. To me this sounds like the album of somebody reaching so hard just to figure it all out and to either find an answer to the big questions or like make an answer.” – Phil Elverum
