As previously reported, Mount Eerie's Phil Elverum and Julie Doiron will soon follow their 2008 collaboration Lost Wisdom with the aptly titled Lost Wisdom pt. 2. Today, they've shared another song from the collaboration.
Of "Belief pt. 2," Elverum shared the following statement:
"Belief pt. 2" is the last song on the album. It comes at the end of a meandering path through uncertainty, devotion, sad reminiscence, hopeful idealism; songs coursing over uneven terrain. This album conclusion is a flag planted, a declaration of belief in love no matter what, the culminating answer to all of the asking that came before. Eroded down by life's changes to an elemental necessity, I make an offering of a final simple gesture of love.
Julie and I recorded this song at night with the doors and windows all the way open, hoping to get the nighthawks and night air onto the recording. The other songs were recorded during the day, but this song is a night song. We tried to make our version of sacred music, under stars in the high dark cool air.
"Belief pt. 2" can be streamed below. Lost Wisdom pt. 2 will arrive on November 8 via P.W. Elverum & Sun. There's also a series of tour dates available below, including newly announced Canadian shows in Victoria and Montreal.
