“Ocean Roar is the second of a pair of albums Phil Elverum recorded on extended break from tour. May's Clear Moon was a dreamy fantasia about home. The midnight-black Ocean Roar, meanwhile, is an experiment in imagined homelessness: It has a facing-the-beast quality of a punishing spiritual quest.”
“Mount Eerie drops the second album that was promised in 2012, and while it is a bit more aggressive than its predecessor, Clear Moon, it's surprisingly disjointed.”
