Phil Elverum has shared another new song from Night Palace, his first new Mount Eerie solo album in six years. “I Saw Another Bird” is the third single he’s shared from the record, following “I Walk” and “Broom of Wind.” Give it a listen below.

“Behind the dry smirk of the title (sequelling out from A Crow Looked At Me) there are huge feelings that get opened,” Elverum said when discussing “I Saw Another Bird.” “We are ridiculous little people toiling on the ground, but the sublime darts around above us always. We can pause, chill, and resume the conversation with the big unknown. This song tells how, in a toe tapping way.”

Night Palace arrives November 1 via his own label, P.W. Elverum & Sun. Elverum’s previous full-length record as Mount Eerie was Lost Wisdom, Pt. 2, a 2019 collaborative LP with Julie Doiron. Near the start of the pandemic, Elverum resurrected the Microphones for the 2020 album Microphones in 2020.
