Second Mount Eerie Album for 2012 Ocean Roar Due September

Earlier this year, Mount Eerie mastermind Phil Elverum announced plans to release two new LPs in 2012. And, sure enough, P.W. Elverum is a man of his word. Following the recent release of Clear Moon, its companion album has now been added to the release sheet: Ocean Roar will come out come September 4.

After 2009's Wind's Poem and then Clear Moon, this continues a thematic study of the elements. Ocean Roar is an attempt to be "the audio equivalent of the blanket of thick dark water vapor that covers the Pacific Northwest for most of the year," and was recorded in Elverum's new studio, The Unknown.

You can listen to an excerpt of "Pale Lights," and peer into "a total wall of blue-grey oceanic fog"...
