In the first episode of our new series, Discog Breakdown, we’ll be taking a look at an artist’s discography release by release, and the first artist we’ll be talking about for this series is Phil Elverum, the Washington-based musician behind projects such as The Microphones and Mount Eerie. In this inaugural episode, Jake and Alex talk about the Early Tapes 1996-1998 compilation and the Microphones’ debut album, Don’t Wake Me Up.
*Apologies in advance about the echo on Jake’s voice–this did not present itself on the actual call and we will make sure it doesn’t happen again.*
