OUR CATALOG

“ELV00negative2- Seven New Songs of Mt. Eerie” – (out of print)

This is 7 songs that were originally recorded for a tour of Australia in 2004. It wasn’t a real release. Just some CDRs in a photocopied cover. No big whoop.

“ELV00negative1- “Mt. Eerie Dances With Wolves/Wolf Mountain Howls In The World” version 1 (out of print)

The Australian version of ELV001, made on the spot.

“ELV000”- “Welcome Nowhere” by Thanksgiving (out of print)

Our first acual release. It is the 3rd? album by Thanksgiving. It came out in October 2004. We are now reissuing it in a deluxe way.

“ELV001” – “Mount Eerie Dances With Wolves/Wolf Mountain Howls In The World” version 2 (out of print)

On that tour of Australia Mt. Eerie became a big pickup band of Australians and recorded these 2 songs direct-to-lacquer in a cool studio/pressing plant compound in Melbourne.

“ELV002” – “SINGERS” LP+CD (out of print)

Over the years whenever a large group of people was in the studio doing some singing on a recording I tried to get them to sing one of my songs, maybe play a few instruments. (Hello, I am Phil from Mt. Eerie.) “SINGERS” is the name of this collection of various recordings. Some are from live shows with the audience singing. All of them are “singalong” songs.

ELV003 “11 Old Songs” by Mt. Eerie LP+CD+2 booklets (out of print)

11 songs made up during the winter of 2002/2003 and recorded later, sung over the top of primitive electronica. Half joke. Half funny.

ELV004- “the Drums from No Flashlight” by Mt. Eerie LP (out of print)

We felt the drums on “No Flashlight” sounded good enough to listen to by themselves.

“ELV005” – “No Flashlight” by Mount Eerie LP+CD (out of print)

This is the first “real” Mt. Eerie album. It came out in the fall of 2005. It holds the world record for the world’s largest record cover.

”*ELV006” – “Nobody’s Perfect” by Mount Eerie – (never released)

This live recording was perhaps once intended for physical release but ended up only being released on this one music website.

“ELV007” – “Thanksgiving (pt. 2 of 3)” by Thanksgiving tripleLP+CD (out of print)

This was jointly released, Dec. 6th 2005, by Marriage and us. A triple album by Thanksgiving. Beautiful triple gatefold. Red, white and blue vinyl. We technically released the white one. Excellent songs home recorded. No filler, almost.

“ELV008”- “No Mystery” by D+, LP+CD, (out of print)

White vinyl, CDR, lyric sheet, letterpressed covers. D+ is a band made up of Bret Lunsford, Karl Blau, and Phil Elverum. We are very relaxed about it. The songs are Bret’s. We all live in Anacortes and in Feb. 2006 we made a new record (our 5th) in the mornings.

ELV009 – Gris” by Woelv 10” / CD : FOR SALE

Geneviève made these 4 long songs in preparation for a tour of Japan. They turned out to be too good for just a tour thing so we released it. They are an attempt at “prog rock” she says. Drones and mind bends. Sung in French.

“ELV010” – “On Earth” by PEACE – CDR (out of print)

Once we released a CDR by a band from Kamloops, B.C., Canada. At the time it seemed like a good idea. We blew $75,000 on studio fees alone. I guess it was a learning experience.

“ELV011” – “Welcome Nowhere” by Thanksgiving – double LP+CD : FOR SALE

A fancy reissued version of our “ELV000”, this time with a whole extra record of lost songs from the sessions. This is one of 3 records that was recorded in a hexagonal hut on top of a high remote hill above a lake with eagles and military jets, looking out over islands. The beginning of our moving studio called “Nowhere”. “Welcome Nowhere” is a CLASSIC ALBUM, straight up. This new version is totally remastered and sounds 1,000,000 times better. Glossy full color gatefold jacket, tie-dyed colored vinyl, CD, excellent songs.

“ELV012” “Don’t Smoke/Get Off the Internet” by the Microphones: 7” (out of print)

white or clear vinyl, letterpressed covers. This was a new single by the Microphones, released in January of 2007. Two punk songs telling you what to do.

“ELV013” – “Rope or Guillotine” by the Spectacle- LP : FOR SALE

letterpressed/silkscreened covers, letterpressed words booklet… The Spectacle is a band from Bodø, Norway that is already broken up. I became friends with them in 2002 when I showed up in their town and decided to stay. I had never heard music that sounded like that, or seen that kind of dark energy so focused. I am happy to be releasing this record (their second of 3) because I could never manage to make music like this myself, although I try.

ELV014 – “Mount Eerie pts. 6 & 7” – 132 pg. book + 10” picture disc : FOR SALE

This music is the sequel to “Mount Eerie” by the Microphones (2003), but the photos are from all over the world from the last 10 years. They have been hung on the walls of the rooms where all the other Mount Eerie/Microphones music has been born. Also, this is the biggest and best thing we’ve ever made. Mount Eerie revealed.

“ELV015” – “ANDO-PR – 36 page book (out of print)

a portfolio of writing and collage work. Recipient of the World’s Top Hilarious Joke Award. Here are some samples. Also, this.

ELV016 – “Black Wooden Ceiling Opening” by Mount Eerie – 10”+CD : FOR SALE

6 songs recorded with the November 2006 Mount Eerie “hard core” line up which was Kjetil Jenssen of the Spectacle, the enigma Jason Anderson and Phil Elverum. Our fastest and loudest achievement so far.

ELV017 – “Dawn” by Mount Eerie- LP : FOR SALE

The same songs as the ones on the book/CD from Buenaventura Press, but on vinyl, no book. Just a record. These are all the songs that were written during the winter of 2002/2003 in north Norway, played on just guitar with singing.
