Dawn
Phil Elverum was born on May 26th 1978 i Anacortes, WA. "Once I realized that it was possible to make songs and books and pictures and not do any other "work", my life got hyperactive. Beginning in 1995 I recorded tapes by myself on borrowed machines, I was always recording at K Records. I worked on albums for 1 year each before releasing them, usually beginning work at dawn. I did 4 albums in this way under the band name "the Microphones. This all culminated in the "death" themed album "Mount Eerie". In 2002 I went on an endless tour and stopped for the winter in northern Norway and died.
