Mount Eerie - Fuck the World (this file, she is big, okay?)
It's no secret that I love the fuck out of Phil Elv(e)rum. The bonanza of Mt. Eerie projects coming out in the next few months has me so excited that I could literally pop, covering the ensuing three-meter blast radius with my entrails and joy. I can pretty much count on no fingers the number of people who are doing as much as Phil with analog recording and group sing-alongs.
Speaking of which...
"Fuck the World" (which, consequently, is not a cover of the Queers song of the same name) starts off with a lengthy horn intro over which you'll find yourself humming "I Want to be Cold" from The Glow, pt 2 (aka Best). Right around the time you start looking at your watch and wondering if this track is an instrumental, people start singing, and then it's just Phil, and then everyone else again. They do that a few times.
The words that all these folks sing at you have a decidedly misanthropic cast--perhaps unsurprisingly so in a song called "Fuck the World." If you have a problem with that you shouldn't have downloaded the song. Also you should get over it.
The point at which you notice that the track is over 11 minutes long will vary from listener to listener. Personally, I hope you notice because you see that your risotto is almost half-done by the time the song ends. I say that mostly because risotto is good, and I only want the best for you.
Bye!
