Phil Elverum:

What’s it a few bonfire?

The flames are charismatic and dance, the sparks billow and flicker
off. However what’s beneath? In smoldering embers that keep alive till
the following morning there’s a sluggish endlessness. The flashing whims of
gentle and darkish move by with out stopping, however the glowing coals beneath
the motion provide a brand new perspective. One thing approaching permanence
within the relentlessly impermanent world.

In all these years of constructing up songs, the intention has at all times been to only
say the factor as instantly as attainable. Identify it, don’t enhance.
Nonetheless, what has come out has usually appeared as billowing clouds
of metaphor and half-formed emotions. Then within the shadow of shut actual
demise in 2016 I made a few data that managed a little bit higher
to talk instantly. The fear in opening up so unreservedly to an
summary public was blown away by the upper stakes of precise demise.

Nothing stops altering. Love returned. With this love got here a brand new
understanding of the bizarre balances between actual life and artwork
tasks, between dwelling and publicity. I moved into a brand new world and
fortunately angled the work inward, maintaining extra quiet.

However nothing stops altering. It didn’t work out and I needed to transfer
once more. Discovering myself staring into one other hearth, disoriented by the
adjustments, these songs got here out.

I hoped to write down songs concerning the smoldering basis beneath all of
this floor chaos, a love that doesn’t die, songs past mere sorrow.
If I once more mined the circumstances of my life for these phrases, I attempted
to do it with liberation in thoughts for everybody. I attempted to make songs
that didn’t rely in any respect on who I’m or who I’m singing about. “The
music, not the singer” is my information, even whereas singing inescapably as
and about myself.

Figuring out that anybody with web entry may need questions on my
specifics, I don’t need to say something private that isn’t already in
the songs. My fingers are crossed that after I push them out to sea
they are going to be met with calm humane understanding. That’s what they’re
about in spite of everything.

In a seize for deeper continuity, I referred to as and requested Julie Doiron if
she might be a part of me within the recording. She has been my favourite singer
since 1993 after I first heard her band Eric’s Journey and subsequently
devoted my life to music and artwork. This 26 yr path from teenage
obsession to collaborator has made me really feel very lucky. We made
one other document in 2008 referred to as Misplaced Knowledge, extra flames, extra love,
extra turmoil. Now we get to do some extra singing and enjoying collectively.

In 2019 life on earth can really feel insane, however within the early hours earlier than
the solar comes up, I look out and the world is clean. Everybody deserves
liberation, and because the sky will get blue and loud with the day I attempt to
bear in mind this clean peace and I hope that it’ll stick with us into
the wild arriving future.
