“Now recording under a new name, The Microphones' Phil Elvrum assembles a Microphones-like crew for his first studio releases since 2003's enigmatic Mount Eerie. These tour-exclusive offerings-- the first, a mini-LP featuring seven new songs; the second, a 12-inch showcasing two tracks spanning 20 minutes-- together total more than 45 minutes of new studio material, and should please fans offput by his last outing's inscrutability.”
