The Microphones is the name of a project that Anacortes, WA's Phil Elverum has headed since the late 90s. Its sound is best described as lo-fi "fuzz folk," ranging from drum-crashing, bass-thrashing sonic freakouts, strummy classical guitar love songs, angelic vocal choirs, and almost-whispered vocals over harmoniums and bell kits. In 2004, Elverum abandoned the "Microphones" name to begin recording as Mount Eerie. But in December 2007, he began

State of the Art
My favorite part is at 1:20. Made with the help of my friend Astrid on horns and my RC-3 Loop Station. Spotify in a couple of days--album coming soon.
In the meantime, feel free to stream on Bandcamp!~
Lyrics:
laying beachside
crying my head off
because it's been cut off
they're cutting the rest off too
I look to the sky
but nobody's listening
there's nobody coming
and yet they're coming for you
except it's they who say
it's all me, me, me, me, me, me
it's not you
wide eyes
cupcakes
candles glowing
birthday wishes
pistol
