“Like 2012’s Clear Moon and Ocean Roar, Mount Eerie’s new album Sauna is a careful cataloging of a single mind state. In some ways, it is an unacknowledged part three of that series: hushed and patient, a processional of wispy, anxious sounds paired with Phil Elverum’s calm, soothing voice.”
“With Sauna, Mount Eerie figurehead Phil Elverum continues in the drone-y, ambient direction he was headed in on 2012's Clear Moon.”
