Mount Eerie, the project of multi-artist Phil Elverum, will release his forthcoming album Night Palace, on November 1st via his own P.W. Elverum & Sun label. Ahead of the LP’s arrival, he has shared the track “Non-Metaphorical Decolonization.” The song sees Elverum address in concrete terms the urgency of acknowledging our violent and avoidant cultural heritage as beneficiaries of North American colonialism. It illuminates the flaming trauma of our current political moment by looking under the big bulging rug. “The final single to be released in advance of Night Palace is a break in the clouds,” explains Elverum, “a clear voice bringing down an unambiguous hammer onto the ground of here and now: We live in the raw wound of a stolen continent empowered by multi-generational internalized racist destruction. Our self-serving dishonesty and subliminal ignorance will only keep us trapped as cycling perpetrators, so why not look right at the thing and give it a name? Liberate all, past and future! Start with giving up everything.”

Additionally, Elverum announces a 2025 North American tour, making stops in Chicago, Philadelphia, Portland, San Francisco, and more, with support from Ragana and Hana Stretton. A full list of dates can be found below. Tickets will be on-sale Friday at 10AM local time, and will be available here.

The vinyl release of Night Palace will come as two LPs wrapped in a gigantic poster (62″x43″) packed with imagery and fully annotated lyrics. As always, this physical version is considered the official “full” embodiment of this work. Elverum has also scheduled a Bandcamp listening party this Wednesday, Oct. 30th at 12:30 PM ET for fans to hear the record in advance.
