About The Microphones

The Microphones is the musical project of Phil Elverum, an American singer-songwriter born in Anacortes, Washington. Elverum began The Microphones in the late 1990s and released a series of influential indie rock albums, most notably 'The Glow Pt. 2' in 2001. His music is characterized by its lo-fi production and deeply personal lyrics.

The Microphones' songs often explore themes of nostalgic memory recall, intense romantic love, and a desire for change. Elverum's lyrics frequently convey a sense of stagnancy, reflecting on personal experiences and emotions. In recent works, he continues to delve into these themes, offering a raw and introspective look at life's complexities.
