72. Phil Elverum and Matt Fenton

Illustration by Unknown Artist

Phil Elverum (The Microphones, Mount Eerie) returns to Low Profile with his audio engineer friend Matt Fenton to discuss the time they gavethe Kamloops, British Columbia band Peace a chance. They discuss their behind-the-scenes experience facilitating the 2006 debut by the band Peace, “On Earth.” It was the first project Elverum signed to his own label PW Elverum and Sun, up to which point had only released his own music. One might argue that the album has not particularly aged well, but regardless, just ahead of the album’s deluxe 3xLP+Coffee Table Book expanded reissue, Low Profile is proud to present the sordid tale of this 17-minute cult classic. You’re welcome.

For the first time in the history of this program, I have been asked by a guest to submit a rebuttal, sent by Mr. Fenton the day after this interview was recorded. In the interest of fair and balanced journalism, here is a screenshot of the private email:
