Yeah he's such a buissnesman. That's why his songs are constantly playing on the radio... goddamn retard!

I wouldn't be surprised if his wife told him to write about her death after she died. She probably knew it would be the best grieving tool for him.

>he thinks the radio is the only way to get paid
dont forget his gofund

He's using all of you to exploit his wife's death to cash in with shit songs with sad lyrics. You're all a part of the problem.

shit, dude

imagine being so cynical that you think that he would write an album about the death of his wife (and the mother of his not barely one year old daughter) for the reviews and the little bit of money he gets for the record.

answer me this. how else would he make money to feed his kid?

>18+ music board

Not him but he makes money off his music sales. Also, touring which he is going to start soon.

>Not him but he makes money off his music sales.
yeah and thats why it wasn't enough to help pay for his wife's medical bills

> Also, touring which he is going to start soon.
hmmm and what songs is he gonna be playing on this tour
oh yeah THE NEW ONES FROM THIS ALBUM

literally the saddest shit i've ever heard. especially since i lost someone precious to me in the past week. how the fuck is it ever going to stop hurting?

how the fuck does he manage to even get out of bed in the morning and write these songs? how did he manage to form a reality in which his wife doesn't exist anymore? Just can't fathom it. Fuck.

>yeah and thats why it wasn't enough to help pay for his wife's medical bills
Yeah, and that was a lot of money to pay out of pocket.

>hmmm and what songs is he gonna be playing on this tour
>oh yeah THE NEW ONES FROM THIS ALBUM
Do you know what catharsis is?

It's very cathartic to express yourself into art. That's probably what Phil is doing to cope. Also, her death was certainly not unexpected, so he probably had a lot of time to prepare for it.

>how the fuck does he manage to even get out of bed in the morning and write these songs? how did he manage to form a reality in which his wife doesn't exist anymore? Just can't fathom it. Fuck.
People deal with pain differently. He may deal with it by making and performing music and not simply sitting alone but that does not mean the pain isn't still crushing every second.

>Yeah, and that was a lot of money to pay out of pocket.
yep and now he needs more to feed his kid.
can't blame him for making money out of you suckers

>Do you know what catharsis is?
yep im sure it is. thats why hes charging us to listen to this experience with him. thats part of the healing

good job Phil you've got some real suckers on your hands

Do you cancerous retards even listen to music? Do you even understand how emotions work? I know most of you are probably baiting but this is fucking ridiculous

This isn't very sonically interesting, and he isn't exactly a great lyricist. While he's obviously in a very emotional space, going through a lot and should do what helps him I can't help but be underwhelmed by the music itself. I have only heard The Glow and Mount Eeeries S/T before, and both are filled with fun and interesting musical ideas, and not awkwardly written lyrics about life trauma.

Try to feel the emotion in it, that's the whole point. I find it profoundly moving despite it not being especially structurally or sonically ambitious

>listens to track about artists wife dying
>"why isn't this fun????"

>how the fuck does he manage to even get out of bed in the morning and write these songs?
His daughter.

lyrically hes just saying
yeah my wifes dead with some basic chords

think u guys are overrated it based on your personal connection with phil

if that's what you get out of the lyrics you might be unironically autistic.

break it down to me then!

Get the fuck out of here, edgelord.

>yep and now he needs more to feed his kid.
>can't blame him for making money out of you suckers
Except he didn't need to make an album to feed his kid, you tard.

>thats why hes charging us to listen to this experience with him.
As compared to all the other times where he did it for free, right? God you are stupid. You are just trolling and you know I know that you know.

>think u guys are overrated it based on your personal connection with phil
Well yeah, he's the one singing the song. You're acting like context isn't important.

you know what do me a favor!
show me proof of you buying one of his records

...

grats
hopefully phil can feed his kid now

what was that supposed to prove

nothing i was just memeing

This

I'll be honest, I think since I've never really lost anyone or anything important in my life, these songs aren't really resonating with me. I love Phil's work and have bawled my eyes out to stuff like Dawn, but I feel like a complete sociopath listening to these songs and feeling absolutely nothing. I think the way he's presenting these feelings is really interesting and theoretically effective, but it's kind of distressing that it's coming off so sterile to me.

made me cry :'(

Exactly

Read her autobio stuff, she grew up in a really broken home and almost never interacted with her father until she was older, it probably killed her knowing her child isn't going to be able to do something as simple as talk to her.

Good call Phil

That's how I felt/feel about Benji. I was in a good place and I just have a nice time listening to Mark's stories.

I'm now divorced so this resonates with me.

You know this website is for those over 18, right?

kinda sux

I think he knows that too. He knows that he can't properly convey the connection he felt to his wife, and that no matter what he says noone will be able to fully understand but even so he still feels like he NEEDS to talk about it. Things need to be said. So instead of being poetic he's quite literally just saying what the fuck is on his mind.

gorgeous, this will be a monolithic and historic release from Phil

Thank you based Phil for fighting cancer at every turn.

Is he going to make it? I'm 100% serious

Lost my mom to Brain Cancer when I was 14 in 2005. My Dad made it, but it was really touch and go for a while.

The last song had sad lyrics but didn't do it for me musically.
This, on the other hand, ruined me.

My first listen was a little underwhelmed but I blamed it on shit speakers. So I listened with headphones, where I could fully absorb the song, and man what an intense listen! The part about giving away Genevieves clothing fucked me up. I guess i had never fully grasped the components of having someone REALLY close die.
Also sonically there is a lot going on in the song, esp. towards the end, building up. Pretty sure I heard a hidden piano. Overall, devastating and beautiful. The new album comes out a day before my birthday. I guess thanks Phil??

why this sound lke anime

>The ground absorbs and remakes whatever falls.
>Nothing dies here
>but here is where I came to grieve, to dive into it with you, with your absence

End my life now my dudes.

Autism

Pretty excited about the new album even though it's depressing as hell. The album art is kind of "eh" though...

The "M" in mount eerie makes me crack up.

Hmm I wonder why the songwriter of twenty years would use songwriting as a form of emotional expression and coping.

this is really REALLY gay

This is heavy shit

At first I wasn't feeling the lyrics but the lo-fi feeling of it makes it feel so intimate. Some of the lyrics are awkward and the vocals are pretty badly-mixed but it doesn't even bother me because of how brutal the content is.

From Mount Eerie bandcamp:

WRITTEN AND RECORDED
August 31st to Dec. 6th, 2016 in the same room where Geneviève died, using mostly her instruments, her guitar, her bass, her pick, her amp, her old family accordion, writing the words on her paper, looking out the same window.
Why share this much? Why open up like this? Why tell you, stranger, about these personal moments, the devastation and the hanging love? Our little family bubble was so sacred for so long. We carefully held it behind a curtain of privacy when we’d go out and do our art and music selves, too special to share, especially in our hyper-shared imbalanced times. Then we had a baby and this barrier felt even more important. (I still don’t want to tell you our daughter’s name.) Then in May 2015 they told us Geneviève had a surprise bad cancer, advanced pancreatic, and the ground opened up. What matters now? we thought. Then on July 9th 2016 she died at home and I belonged to nobody anymore. My internal moments felt like public property. The idea that I could have a self or personal preferences or songs eroded down into an absurd old idea leftover from a more self-indulgent time before I was a hospital-driver, a caregiver, a child-raiser, a griever. I am open now, and these songs poured out quickly in the fall, watching the days grey over and watching the neighbors across the alley tear down and rebuild their house. I make these songs and put them out into the world just to multiply my voice saying that I love her. I want it known.
"Death Is Real" could be the name of this album. These cold mechanics of sickness and loss are real and inescapable, and can bring an alienating, detached sharpness. But it is not the thing I want to remember. A crow did look at me. There is an echo of Geneviève that still rings, a reminder of the love and infinity beneath all of this obliteration. That’s why.

Art is cathartic you ignoramus

...

im ready to cry for days when the album comes out

>and you still get mail
>a week after you died a package arrived for you a gift for our daughter you had ordered in secret
>i collapsed on the porch
>i wailed
>a backpack for a couple years from now when she goes to school
>you were thinking ahead to a future you must have known did not include you

Fuck i'm crying at work

Fuck dude, you're right! How could I have been so blind?

Yes user using real life experiences and tragedies to make art is a cash grab and should never be done.

Can people just stop replying to the edgelords that think they're being insightful? As if that isn't the laziest possible take you could possibly have on art like this...

fuck. I can't stop listening to this and crying. Phil i am sorry for you. I'm sorry that you had to go through this.

Got this and all his wife's material lined up to order at some point. Delivery to England is going to fuck my arse.

It feels wrong hearing these songs. Like it's something I shouldn't be hearing. I feel sad, but I also feel uncomfortable. Like I'm rummaging through someone's personal belongings.

You're not the only one, man

His tweet about people emailing him is funny and deeply sad at the same time.

that ass is fat

>the jar we released you from

muh blunt sadboi indieshit music
