VIDEO: Mount Eerie, “The Place Lives”

It may be hard to believe considering how prolific his musical output is, but Mount Eerie has never released a music video before today’s “The Place Lives” clip. Self-directed/produced by Phil Elverum himself–he’s been a photographer for years–it’s exactly what you’d expect from the forest-dwelling master of moody singer-songwriter music.

Ocean Roar, the more experimental of Mount Eerie’s two 2012 LPs, is due out September 4th. Check out a rundown of Elverum’s extensive fall tour below…
