Phil Elverum says he’s working a career-spanning Microphones box set. In a new interview on Sonos Radio Hour, Elverum told host (and Pitchfork contributor) Elia Einhorn that he has spent the past year putting the release together and “waiting on pressing plants.” The set will include every album by the Microphones, freshly pressed to vinyl, along with a book and a “crazy download of like 70 gigabytes of everything, all the embarrassing, mortifying material,” as Elverum put it. The release will also include stems of the songs. Elverum says it will be finished in January, but has not yet announced a release date. Check out the full interview below.
In the summer of 2020, the Microphones released their first album in 17 years, aptly titled Microphones in 2020. Elverum also issued a short film and photo book to accompany the LP. Earlier this year, Elverum dropped Foghorn Tape, which he described as “literally just the noisy fuzzed out tape loop of a ‘fog horn.’” The Microphones will kick off a tour early next year.
