Phil Elverum spent nine months adrift in 2018, living in his now–ex-wife Michelle Williams’ swank Brooklyn townhouse — and he didn’t write a thing.

In 2008 Phil Elverum, still solidifying his new musical identity after dissolving his lo-fi band the Microphones, first teamed up with Canadian indie-rocker Julie Doiron for the joint LP Lost Wisdom. Roughly ten years later, the duo is back with a stunning sequel of sorts, Lost Wisdom Pt. 2.
Much has happened for Eleverum in that decade: After he became a father in 2014, Elverum’s wife Geneviève Castrée died suddenly. That resulted in 2017’s jaw-dropping A Crow Looked At Me, which found the singer reckoning with his trauma head-on. “That’s how the songs are written:,...
