Following the release of the The Microphones' Mount Eerie album, Phil Elverum announced that he would dissolve the Microphones moniker, opting instead to record under the name Mount Eerie, after the area in Anacortes, Washington called Mount Erie. Elverum, in an interview with discorder (September 2003), gives his reasons for this change: "Mount Eerie is a new project. The Microphones was completed, or at least at a good stopping point. I did it because I am ready for new things. I am new."
Shortly after this announcement, Live in Japan, recorded during three days during Elverum's tour in Japan in 2003, was released by K Records. Despite the fact that the album contained all new material, the album was credited to 'The Microphones'. The quotation marks contained in the release are credited to the fact that Phil Elverum considered this to neither be a Microphones project, nor a Mount Eerie release.
Since the name change, Elverum has released a few singles, and limited vinyl-only releases. Elverum has also created an ambitious 3-LP recording of Mount Eerie titled Live in Copenhagen, released by Burnt Toast Vinyl in late 2004. The first Mount Eerie studio album was "No Flashlight" Songs of the Fulfilled Night, released on Elverum's own label, P.W. Elverum & Sun, Ltd. at What the Heck Fest in Anacortes, WA on July 16, 2005 and commercially released on August 16, 2005. Released domestically on vinyl LP (although the LP version contained a copy of the CD), the album contained an extremely large sheet of paper containing track-by-track liner notes and pictures.
July 2007 marked the release of another ambitious project, Mount Eerie pts. 6 & 7 a 132-page, hardcover coffee-table book of his photography, packaged with a 10" record. This book is the first large-scale publication of his photography, and possibly presents closure to the Mount Eerie song cycle started in the album Mount Eerie by the now-defunct Microphones.
Audio
"Seven songs recorded for the July 2004 tour of Australia by Mount Eerie. They were recorded 'Nowhere' in Anacortes, Washington in the months of May and June 2004. The release was in an edition of 196 CDRs and sold out on tour. Somehow people in North America found out about it and thought they really wanted it because of the low quantity. Now it is available forever for free. No more romance!"

Liebe Freunde! Eine kleine Sensation hat sich zugetragen. Vor einigen Tagen bekam ich eine E-Mail aus Baltimore von Bob, dem Sänger der fantastischen Band Small Sur. Er kündigte an, für eine Woche durch Deutschland zu reisen und fragte mich, ob ich nicht eine Idee hätte, wo er vielleicht ein kleines Konzert spielen könnte. Ich hab dann mal meine überschaubaren Kontakte spielen lasse und darf jetzt voller Stolz bekannt geben, dass am 18. Juni im Kölner King George ein exklusives Small Sur Konzert stattfinden wird. Freunde der guten Musik dürfen sich dieses Spektakel bitte nicht entgehen lassen! Ich verspreche einfach mal ein wunderschönes Konzert der Extraklasse! Wer Bonnie „Prince“ Billy, Songs: Ohia, Damien Jurado oder die Little Wings mag, wird garantiert nicht enttäuscht sein. Da das Ganze recht kurzfristig ist, bitte ich euch aufrichtig, diesen Termin weiterzuleiten. Ich würde mich sehr freuen, wenn ihr zahlreich erscheinen würdet. Gute Musik muss unterstützt werde und das ist eine ausgezeichnete Gelegenheit dies zu tun. Ich freue mich auf euer Erscheinen! Martin
