the return of Phil Elverum to K Recs is a very welcome sight indeed {even if it is only a brief collaboration}! et i have to admit i nearly wet myself when i heard the new track he's cooked up with Calvin Johnson. so here it is, the sublime, funked-out, euphoria-inducing, monolithic wall of ecstatic guitar noise, thunderous, splashing percussion et wounded, preoccupied et plaintive crooning, the epic ode to hard rock that is Distorted Cymbals, from noise pop/folk innovator Phil Elverum aka Mount Eerie {formerly The Microphones!} off the forthcoming "Distorted Cymbals b/w Anglepoise Cymbols" split 7" (2012).
open all the windows in your house/apartment/car, now turn/push/press the volume dial/fader/button as far as it can go, Distorted Cymbals demands to be played at full volume, et your neighbors should share this glorious occasion!!! enjoy this enraptured musical experience!
"Lying on the ground
with your wind knocked out
the sky is vast and growing
and there is no sound
and no music."
MP3: Distorted Cymbals
