The Microphones

The Microphones was the solo project of American musician Phil Elverum from 1996 to 2003, with comebacks in 2007 and 2019 to 2022 respectively. Hailing from northern Washington State, The Microphones's sound is best described as lo-fi "fuzz folk," including drum-crashing, bass-thrashing sonic freakouts, strummy classical guitar love songs, angelic vocal choirs, and almost-whispered vocals over harmoniums and bell kits. In 2004, Elverum abandoned the "Microphones" name to begin recording as Mount Eerie
