Mount Eerie steams up 2015 with announcement of new double album Sauna!

Here we go… some news you can use — Phil Elverum has just announced the follow-up to last year’s Pre-Human Ideas, which I guess you could call his last album? If that Autotune adventure doesn’t count as “canon Mount Eerie” to you, then just call it the follow-up to 2012’s double-dip Clear Moon/Ocean Roar. The new album is called Sauna (lil’ bit of a reference to It Was Hot, We Stayed in the Water?), it’s a double album, and it will be self-released through P.W. Elverum & Sun in early 2015. You do that, Phil.

Elverum will be debuting “extremely stripped-down” versions of Sauna material on his upcoming September tour, so get yourself in attendance if you like nearly-nude songs. Here’s what other info we have on this music so far: there are 12 songs (“some very short, some very long”), they were recorded over a 15-month period in Elverum’s own church-studio The Unknown, and the subject matter will involve “vikings and zen and real life.” Eat, Pray, Love, Pillage.
