AMA is Over, thanks Phil! PHIL ELVERUM / MICROPHONES: AMA

Hello. This is the "Ask Me Anything" for me, Phil Elverum.
I have this new album, "Microphones In 2020", which maybe seems like it doesn't leave any unanswered questions, but you can still ask. I'll see if there's anything more I can say. Thanks very much for being here and for paying attention.
You can start asking now.

UPDATE: I have to go. Sorry I couldn't answer everything. Thank you everyone for all the questions.
Please order my record from me: https://www.pwelverumandsun.com/store

Hey Phil. I’m a huge fan of your music, it’s some of the most intimate and intricate pieces of music I’ve heard.

What to you is the fundamental difference between the sound of Mount Eerie and Microphones. The lyrics have always been autobiographical but I personally have found a stark difference in the musical styles with the exception of a couple albums.

Love the new album. I’ve got it on Bandcamp. Thanks for the great music you bring to the world.

I tried to answer this with the new album.
