TOTALLY UNEXPECTED FROM PHIL // Mount Eerie - Waves // Composer Reaction & Analysis

[@oweb7754]

Nice to see you covering more Phil! Really enjoyed your commentary about how he communicates the wonder and awe of being alive and the natural world around us. I know I already said this on your Glow Pt. 2 reaction but I'd really love to hear your thoughts on The Microphones album Mount Eerie especially through this lens, it takes a completely different musical approach to this track but is probably the piece of his catalogue that most successfully communicates that feeling.

I was wondering if Phil's black metal-inspired era would make an appearance this week lol

[@ericdoce4974]

Phil's first full-length foray into this kind of material inspired by black metal was an album called Wind's Poem which was released in 2009.

i meeeaaan the glow pt 2 as a whole is not sonically heavy but samurai sword is an absolute monster of a track lol

Super tasty and dense atmosphere. So many nuances to discover in the field of fuzzy chaos. Some of those chords were also choice. I would say the song does move but doesn't stagnate... it just ends up where it begins. A big, single, cycle.......of a wave

I don't really understand the 'unexpected' part of the theme... I'd say Anthrax - What doesn't die took me by surprise with it's power and heaviness, but can it really be considered unexpected if they are a metal band? Oddly, this reminded me of GYBE. Tried to find something that fit the bill and came up with - Kerbdog - On The Turn: Live at Sonisphere Muse - Dead Star @ Le Zénith, Paris 2001 [Hullabaloo] or Biffy Clyro - There's No Such Thing As a Jaggy Snake

So who's gonna be the one to force him to torture himself with A Crow Looked at Me?

[@petegrusky2715]

I strongly recommend Forbidden-Twisted into Form album , the thrash with the most dreamy harmonics. You'd say , what!? Yes, harmonics...!

I'd rather listen to my parents make a baby than listen to that again

Your parents must sound awesome then.
