On ?Through the Trees Pt. 2,? Phil Elverum, the Washington-based artist behind Mount Eerie, spells out his musical ethos, singing, ?I meant all my songs not as a picture of the woods, but just to remind myself that I briefly live.? Like Walt Whitman with a guitar, Elverum frequently views his life through the prism of nature, and the songs on his latest record, ?Clear Moon,? are filled with references to fog, passing clouds and rich, earthy moss.
