You can hear Mount Eerie’s cover of «Of Pressure» now. Read a quote from Phil Elverum below:
«It was a joy to record my version of Mirah’s song «Of Pressure» using the old cassette 4 track and all the instruments we used to use together in the old days,» said Mount Eerie’s Phil Elverum, «Same air organ, same antique drum machine, same chaos. I remember when Mirah first recorded her original. It was part of a batch of songs that she worked on independently of our collaboration in Dub Narcotic studio. Her 4 track world. That one was a big built world of mounting layers, the feeling of pressure and depth. I loved it and I still do. I wanted to see if I could make it a little more oppressive even.»
