Английская Википедия:A Crow Looked at Me

Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Use American English Шаблон:Infobox album A Crow Looked at Me is the eighth studio album by Mount Eerie, a solo project of the American musician Phil Elverum. Released in 2017, it was composed in the aftermath of his 35-year-old wife Geneviève Castrée's diagnosis with pancreatic cancer in 2015, and her death in July 2016. Elverum wrote and recorded the songs over a six-week period in the room where she died, mostly using her instruments. His sparse lyrics and minimalistic musical accompaniment drew influence from a broad range of artists, including the poet Gary Snyder, author Karl Ove Knausgård and songwriter Julie Doiron.

Characterized by lo-fi production and loose instrumentation, A Crow Looked at Me departs from Elverum's earlier and more complex experimental works, but is musically similar to his album Lost Wisdom (2008). The lyrics are presented in a diary-like form and sung in a raw, intimate style. They describe Castrée's illness and death, Elverum's grief, and his relationship with their infant child. The album was deliberately underpromoted, and he at first considered releasing the songs under a name other than Mount Eerie. The singles "Real Death" (January 2017) and "Ravens" (February), were accompanied by a single low key concert. After its release, he undertook well-received tours of North America and Europe, and in 2018 released the album (after), a live performance of the songs.

The album is highly regarded by both critics and fans, although a number of critics found it difficult to objectively review, given its emotional subject matter and unflinchingly honest lyrics. A Crow Looked at Me is Elverum's best selling record to date and is considered among his most important works. It became one of the most praised albums of 2017, appearing on many best-of lists for the year and decade. His following albums, Now Only (2018) and Lost Wisdom pt. 2 (2019), further detail and examine Castrée's illness and early death.

Elverum and Castrée performing in 2006

Phil Elverum's wife, the Canadian cartoonist and musician Geneviève Castrée, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2015, four months after the birth of their first child. She died at their home in Anacortes, Washington, on July 9, 2016.Шаблон:Sfnm Elverum considered retiring from music to become a full-time father, but a visit to the Canadian island Haida Gwaii—a place that Elverum and Castrée considered moving to—inspired him to write notes that, along with those he had written during her illness, became the lyrical basis for A Crow Looked at Me.Шаблон:Sfnm

Inspired by Gary Snyder's poem "Go Now", Elverum realized that he did not have to take meaning from Castrée's death, and could write frank songs that bluntly describe her illness and his experience.Шаблон:Sfnm Having read the poem months before Castrée's diagnosis, he found it "stayed with [him] subconsciously throughout the 14 months of transformative cancer horror".Шаблон:Sfn

Further inspiration was found in the works of Canadian singer-songwriter Julie Doiron, American poet Joanne Kyger, American rock band Sun Kil Moon, and Norwegian author Karl Ove Knausgård.Шаблон:Sfn Will Oldham's 1996 album Arise Therefore influenced the album's sparse production style.Шаблон:Sfn

Elverum chose the title A Crow Looked at Me to represent the "uncomfortable feeling of applying significance to insignificant things".Шаблон:Sfn

Composition and recording

Elverum wrote and recorded the album between August 31 and December 6, 2016, at his house in Anacortes, Washington,Шаблон:Sfnm Шаблон:Sfn in the room Castrée had died, and for which he credits the album's "immediacy" and "bluntness". He had earlier abandoned the room, opening its window to allow the weather, birds, and nature to take over. He reclaimed the room out of a need for a private space to work when not parenting.Шаблон:Sfn In an interview with KUOW, he said that he wanted to create positive associations with the room so that it would not be defined solely by Castrée's final days.Шаблон:Sfn He used a single microphone, an acoustic guitar, and some of Castrée's instruments.Шаблон:Sfnm His decision was out of practicality, rather than from any intentional symbolic significance.Шаблон:Sfn The album was recorded onto a laptop computer, making A Crow Looked at Me his first album to be produced entirely in this way—he had before mostly used analog recording.Шаблон:Sfnm

Шаблон:Quote box He began the recording sessions after his daughter fell asleep or was visiting friends.Шаблон:Sfn In notes accompanying the album's release, he wrote that the songs "poured out quickly in the fall" while he was "watching the days grey over and watching the neighbors across the alley tear down and rebuild their house."Шаблон:Sfn He described writing lyrics on paper and then practicing until he had memorized each chord sequence—a first for him.Шаблон:Sfn He said that most of his initial songwriting notes took the form of a "formless, no-rhythm, no-meter, no-melody blob of words".Шаблон:Sfn This process was a result of habit, "just doing what I usually do", which was "to distil all the mass of words in my head into something a little more poetic and musical".Шаблон:Sfn Elverum intended the songs to have a "hyper-intimate" and unrestrained quality and to be philosophical but devoid of metaphor, which he felt would be "cowardly and pointless".Шаблон:Sfnm

Elverum was compelled to make the album having found that works of art he once had treasured were ineffective in helping him cope with her illness and death.Шаблон:Sfn Even while writing the album, he remained unsure whether anyone except himself would ever hear it, and he had no goal in mind.Шаблон:Sfnm He completed and released the record to "[open] up all the way", to make the intensity of his love for Castrée known, and to draw a distinction between art and the "experience of life".Шаблон:Sfnm Elverum said the style of songwriting he used was the only kind that felt "appropriate" and "real" to him.Шаблон:Sfn He found the album's creation to be "therapeutic" and felt as though he were "hanging out" with Castrée during its production and said that, by the end of the process, he felt he had partially healed.Шаблон:Sfnm Nonetheless, in an interview a year after the album's creation, he expressed disbelief that he had been able to make an album under the circumstances.Шаблон:Sfn

Cover artwork

The album cover consists of a photograph of Castrée's former art studio. The image captures a number of her personal items, including a blurry but recognizable copy of Hergé's 1960 graphic novel Tintin in Tibet.Шаблон:Sfn Stereogum writer Patrick Lyons speculated that the comic's appearance served as a connection to Elverum's following album, Now Only, which has a song titled "Tintin in Tibet".Шаблон:Sfn The photograph shows Elverum's hand holding a piece of paper with the poem "Night Palace" by Castrée's close friend Joanne Kyger.Шаблон:Sfn The poem had been important to Castrée, who pinned the paper above her desk years before her cancer diagnosis. Elverum chose to use it because he felt it encapsulated the album's themes, his grieving process and the manner in which he wished to perform the songs.Шаблон:Sfnm

Music and lyrics

Шаблон:Quote box

The lyrics are written in a style of poetic literalism with a sense of mysticism.Шаблон:Sfn Their main themes are Castrée's illness and death as well as Elverum's grief.Шаблон:Sfnm Ideas of impermanence, emptiness, disorientation, and the absurdity of performing intimate material in public are present as well.Шаблон:Sfnm PasteШаблон:'s Matt Fink suggested that although Elverum's repertoire of songs about mortality is perhaps second only to those about nature, A Crow Looked at Me "marks the first time he has written about death".Шаблон:Sfn

The work's exploration of death has been compared to the Antlers' Hospice (2009), David Bowie's Blackstar (2016) and Sufjan Stevens's Carrie & Lowell (2015), although, as highlighted by writer Isabel Zacharias, A Crow Looked at Me focuses more on the grieving process and its mundane aspects than these albums do.Шаблон:Sfn Many of the lyrics reference nature.Шаблон:Sfn One reviewer said that "tragedy hasn't stopped [Elverum] from noticing the world; if anything, it seems to have pried his eyes open for good".Шаблон:Sfn Unlike in his past works, he forgoes his "general focus on nature's 'raw impermanenceШаблон:'".Шаблон:Sfn Throughout, Elverum returns to motifs such as his house—in particular, the room where Castrée died—and the minutiae of his life.Шаблон:Sfnm

The lyrics are written in diary form and detail actual events and dates. Each song explores a specific period during his grieving process, and according to Elverum, are "anchored to a very specific moment".Шаблон:Sfn Thomas Britt of PopMatters highlighted this element, writing that the approach made real the impact of death on continuing, everyday life.Шаблон:Sfn The songs, with the exception of the closer "Crow"—which is addressed to the couple's daughter, whose role in the album's story is almost that of a second protagonist—refer to Castrée, although she is never directly named.Шаблон:Sfnm Elverum said that he does not view the album as a tribute to Castrée, or about her. He believes that he would be unable to create a sufficient tribute for Castrée.Шаблон:Sfn At times Elverum uses dark humor.Шаблон:Sfn According to The New YorkerШаблон:'s Peter Baker, the album's lyrics combine "emotional intimacy and tonal frankness to a degree rarely heard in contemporary music".Шаблон:Sfn The GuardianШаблон:'s Brigid Delaney wrote that the album is more comparable to "a traditional lament" than popular pieces of music about death such as Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds' Skeleton Tree.Шаблон:Sfn The New York TimesШаблон:'s Jon Caramanica wrote that "songwriting seems almost too precise a term" because "the line is blurred between singing, speaking and raw emotional data dump".Шаблон:Sfn

The music is reminiscent of his 2008 albums Dawn and Lost Wisdom;Шаблон:Sfn its songs avoid standard musical structures and have sparse instrumentation—individual instruments enter and leave at unpredictable times—a drum machine producing a hiss-like sound, acoustic guitar, chord changes, an absence of choruses, unorthodox verse structure, and very few melodies.Шаблон:Sfnm The songs are short—lasting on average less than four minutes—and typically end abruptly, avoiding codas and fade outs.Шаблон:Sfnm They include unresolved notes and chords; the ending of "Seaweed", for example, hangs on a half-step descent.Шаблон:Sfn The simplicity of the songs reflects Elverum's wish to move away from his earlier, more "artistically challenging" work, which is characterized by "harsh tones" and "complicated chords".Шаблон:Sfn Jayson Greene of Pitchfork explained the contrast to Elverum's earlier work as similar to "the difference between charting a voyage around the earth and undertaking it".Шаблон:Sfn Elverum has described A Crow Looked at Me as "barely music".Шаблон:Sfn

Pictured: Haida Gwaii, which inspired Elverum to begin the album and is where he spread Castrée's ashes. The archipelago is referenced in "Seaweed".

The opening track "Real Death" describes Elverum's shock in the weeks after Castrée's death.Шаблон:Sfn He sings accompanied by piano, electric guitar, accordion and drums.Шаблон:Sfnm The opening words, "Death is Real", reappear throughout the record.Шаблон:Sfnm The lyrics set out that the album is not intended as an artistic statement about death: "it's not for singing about / It's not for making into art". Elverum has said that although the album is art, the line is about "the difference between the idea of a thing and the actual lived experience of it", and that this line is an example of him "joking around".Шаблон:Sfnm

In "Seaweed", Elverum describes the scattering of Castrée's ashes, his trip to Haida Gwaii with their daughter a month after Castrée's death, and his fear of forgetting the small details of Castrée's life.Шаблон:Sfnm He concludes the song by saying that he thinks of Castrée as the sunset.Шаблон:Sfn "Ravens", which is accompanied by multi-tracked guitar, piano chords and percussion,Шаблон:Sfnm describes Castrée's last living days and the moments after.Шаблон:Sfnm He has expressed regret over repeatedly describing and singing about her final days.Шаблон:Sfn

"Forest Fire" explores themes of death, decay, and the seeming absurdity of life.Шаблон:Sfn In the song, Elverum describes his daily routine.Шаблон:Sfn The fire represents a sort of "cleansing", but it is unclear what is being made pure.Шаблон:Sfn In the song, he writes that he "rejects nature"; he has said that the line is both an acknowledgement of the natural process of death and a protest against it, rather than outright rejection.Шаблон:Sfn "Swims" details his experience of grief counseling and the sudden death of his counselor; his vocals are accompanied by a minimal guitar line and simple piano chords.Шаблон:Sfn

"My Chasm" describes Elverum's isolation from his friends and difficulty in talking about his loss in public.Шаблон:Sfn In "When I Take Out The Garbage at Night" Elverum reconnects with the universe, accepting that Castrée still exists somewhere within it.Шаблон:Sfn

Tracks 8–11

Soria Moria, the painting that is mentioned in the song of the same name

On "Emptiness pt. 2", Elverum sings "conceptual emptiness was cool to talk about back before I knew my way around these hospitals."Шаблон:Sfn During the same track, Elverum sings "Your absence is a scream saying nothing", with the word "scream" drawn out, a raw moment that Greene compared to self-harm.Шаблон:Sfn Britt wrote that the song's introspection makes previous dark, brooding moods in Elverum's work seem enjoyable by comparison.Шаблон:Sfn On "Toothbrush/Trash", Elverum examines the relation between time and grief.Шаблон:Sfn During the same track, Elverum uses a drum kit to simulate the sound of a closing door to recall a moment when he took out Castrée's trash.Шаблон:Sfn

The lyrics of "Soria Moria" allude to the eponymous painting by Theodor Kittelsen, while the music incorporates elements of black metal.Шаблон:Sfnm The song describe Elverum and his daughter moving on with their lives.Шаблон:Sfn The lyric: "refuge in the dust" is a reference to the Gary Snyder poem "After Bamiyan".Шаблон:Sfn It is the only song on the album to have anything resembling a traditional refrain, being compared musically to his 2009 album Wind's Poem.Шаблон:Sfn Britt described the song and its use of natural imagery as "one of the most vivid illustrations of Walter Benjamin's concept of 'aura'".Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Efn A live version of the song was used as the lead single for Elverum's 2018 live album, (after).Шаблон:Sfn

The final song, "Crow", is addressed to Elverum's daughter and recounts their hiking trip in the Pacific Northwest when they were followed by a bird that seems to personify Castrée.Шаблон:Sfnm He mentions events outside their family life and—referring to the 2016 United States presidential election—describes the world as Шаблон:Nowrap and fascist". Elverum elected to include this as to not have "the album to come out and be naive to what was happening in our world".Шаблон:Sfn The album's thematic throughlines are concluded in the closing lyrics: "And there she was".Шаблон:Sfnm

Release and promotion

The Business, a record shop at which Elverum performed in support of A Crow Looked at Me

Elverum considered not releasing the album at all.Шаблон:Sfn He had originally planned a small-scale release on his website but wanted to reach a wider audience as the album took shape.Шаблон:Sfn On January 6, 2017, he announced that he would tour and release the new album.Шаблон:Sfn The next day, he played his first concert since September 2014, at the Business, a record store in Anacortes, Washington.Шаблон:Sfn He played the album in its entirety during the concert's 45 minutes.Шаблон:Sfn The concert publicity generated significant interest; as a result, Elverum asked for attendance of less than 50, the amount the venue was capable of holding.Шаблон:Sfn He performed in a corner of the room with his eyes closed and left immediately afterwards.Шаблон:Sfnm The performance was noticeably sparse; Elverum did not use amplification, and played only his acoustic guitar. Music critic Eric Grandy described the performance as "heavy and awkward and weird" yet "supportive and cathartic and necessary", taking into account the crowd's emotional reaction to the material.Шаблон:Sfn

"Crow" was the first track to be released, and appeared on the charity album Is There Another Language? in January 2017.Шаблон:Sfn The opening single, "Real Death", was released on SoundCloud on January 25, 2017;Шаблон:Sfn the second single, "Ravens", was released on February 15. Its promotional video consists of camcorder recordings of Elverum and Castrée.Шаблон:Sfn Both singles were listed by Stereogum as the best song of their respective release weeks and included on PitchforkШаблон:'s lists of the best songs of the month.Шаблон:Sfnm Шаблон:Sfnm He spoke to numerous press outlets while promoting the album but said these experiences were more akin to talk therapy than to a typical public relations campaign. After giving around five phone interviews in a single day, he said he felt "mentally drained".Шаблон:Sfn

Live performances

Stage and pews of a cathedral.

Elverum's 2017 performance at the Jacobikerk church in the Netherlands was recorded and released as the live album (after).

In April 2017, he undertook a brief, solo acoustic tour of North America, followed by another in September 2017. They were held in small venues, such as concert halls, churches and theaters.Шаблон:Sfnm Elverum omitted some album tracks as he found them too emotional to play live.Шаблон:Sfnm He played a number of then-unreleased songs, including the title track from his following album, Now Only.Шаблон:Sfn That September, Elverum performed "Ravens", "When I Take Out the Garbage at Night" and "Soria Moria" in the New York office of Stereogum.Шаблон:Sfn The tour was extended to include Europe in November 2017.Шаблон:Sfn While Elverum was performing at the Jacobikerk church as part of Le Guess Who? festival in Utrecht, a sound engineer unofficially recorded the set. Elverum liked the recording so much that he released it in 2018 as the live album (after).Шаблон:Sfn

The April and September-to-November tours were well received, with critics commending the intimate settings. Complimentary reviews were published in The Independent,^[1] the Evening Standard,^[2] Now Toronto,^[3] and Exclaim!.^[4] Pitchfork's Quinn Moreland described the concert at Christ Church Cathedral as "a wake—a spiritual sensation that was amplified by the venue, a temple".Шаблон:Sfn The performance at Chicago's Thalia Hall was recommended by Chicago magazine.Шаблон:Sfn Elverum's Le Guess Who? performance was selected as one of the best by Consequence of Sound.Шаблон:Sfn NPR selected the concert at Hollywood Forever Cemetery as an "essential" gig from the first half of 2017.Шаблон:Sfn

Elverum experienced nightmares in the lead up to touring the songs live until he gained confidence from the early positive reactions of friends and family.Шаблон:Sfnm He typically sang in a detached, vulnerable manner, and on occasion apologized for becoming visibly emotional.Шаблон:Sfnm He viewed the events as "re-enacting a trauma and charging people money for it"Шаблон:Sfn and criticized the sense of voyeurism the audience partook in, although he said that audiences helped him overcome his fear of performing.Шаблон:Sfnm He admitted that he would probably approach a similar performance by another artist in terms of being "hard to look away from a car accident".Шаблон:Sfn

Reception

Шаблон:Album ratings A Crow Looked at Me received widespread critical acclaim, with Elverum receiving more attention from reviewers than before and earning some of the best reviews of his career.Шаблон:Sfnm It was one of the most critically acclaimed albums of 2017 and Elverum's best selling to date.Шаблон:Sfnm Elverum found the album's positive reception as reaffirming but "strange and absurd". He felt uneasy about his lyrics being so public, and later said: "I scream, 'Death is real,' and you clap".Шаблон:Sfnm

Many reviewers were impressed by the album's direct sentiment and emotional lyrics. Critic Zack Fenech complimented the album's ability to make listeners "reflect on their own relationships and mortality",Шаблон:Sfn Tom Breihan of Stereogum ended his reviews by praising the impact the album had on him.Шаблон:Sfn Tiny Mix Tapes' writer Jessie Rovinelli said that the album "recommitted me to the world as it is, reminded me of the danger of grand statements and the sad comfort in uncertainty".Шаблон:Sfn Spencer Kornhaber of The Spinoff saw the album's appeal as being that it allows listeners to express and articulate grief—Tom Faber of The Guardian found it did.Шаблон:Sfnm Andy O'Connor, in an article for Spin, noted that the album was widely praised and "identified with" because of the perceived ubiquity of grief in the late 2010s.Шаблон:Sfn

Critics differed in their appraisal of the album's instrumentation, production and aesthetic. Fenech found that the approach "[translated] and [captured] feelings words simply can't",Шаблон:Sfn and Fink applauded the lo-fi approach.Шаблон:Sfn Marvin Lin of Tiny Mix Tapes and The Guardian's Michael Hann gave ambivalent opinions; Hann said the style was "functional" and "sufficiently mannered that it's not really a question of whether it's good or not".Шаблон:Sfnm

Some reviewers echoed Elverum's opinion that its sparse instrumentation barely constituted music. Jon Caramanica observed how the songs' intensity almost defied the label of art.Шаблон:Sfn Breihan thought that the album rejected conventional standards of music, a theme commonly found through other reviews.Шаблон:Sfnm A few critics found it a difficult album to review.Шаблон:Sfnm Jochan Embley of The Independent said that it was strange to praise an album that earnestly details someone's grieving process, Шаблон:Sfn while Lin scored the album but said that his rating meant "absolutely nothing".Шаблон:Sfn

Accolades

A Crow Looked at Me appeared on multiple 2017 year-end lists.Шаблон:Sfn It placed first, second and third on those published by Tiny Mix Tapes, The Daily Beast and The New York Times, respectively.Шаблон:Sfnm It ranked 15th in The Village VoiceШаблон:'s Pazz & Jop poll, which collected top-ten ballots of more than 400 critics from across the United States that year.Шаблон:Sfn In readers' polls conducted by Pitchfork and Stereogum, the album placed at number seven and number four, respectively.Шаблон:Sfnm It was featured on several lists of the best albums of the 2010s decade,Шаблон:Sfn including a top-20 placement by Noisey.Шаблон:Sfn According to a survey of decade-end lists by the Seattle Metropolitan, it was the most-mentioned album by an artist from the Seattle area.Шаблон:Sfn

Impact

The album was described as "historic" by Paste's Adam Nizum, while Thomas Britt of PopMatters called it "one of the most remarkable folk albums ever produced".Шаблон:Sfnm Both Ben Hansen of Happy Mag and Britt hold it as the peak of the Mount Eerie project, the latter going further and saying it concluded "Elverum's longtime preoccupations ... with nature and death".Шаблон:Sfnm According to Max Savage Levenson of Bandcamp Daily, by the end of 2017, the album had been recognized as a "milestone" in Elverum's career; Tiny Mix Tapes writer, Leah B. Levinson echoed a similar sentiment.Шаблон:Sfnm Frank Falisi of Tiny Mix Tapes cited it as one of the albums of the 2010s that "[redefined] the understanding of popular music".Шаблон:Sfn Both The GuardianШаблон:'s John Robinson and Craig Jenkins of Vulture highlighted it as an example of a new personal style of songwriting.Шаблон:Sfnm The Village Voice said that the "absoluteness of Elverum's literalism" is "one reason A Crow Looked at Me is some kind of classic".Шаблон:Sfn

Шаблон:Multiple image

In 2017, the American rapper Danny Brown named A Crow Looked at Me as his favorite album of the year; Elverum publicly thanked Brown and later noted that his endorsement had caused a greater increase in sales than the album's appearance on the New York Times year-end list.Шаблон:Sfn Michelle Zauner of Japanese Breakfast chose it as one of the five albums that changed her life and said that it helped her cope with the death of her mother.Шаблон:Sfn Gilles Demolder of the black metal band Oathbreaker took inspiration from the album, and said that it helped him see that "acoustic guitar and words can be so much heavier than anything I've heard before".Шаблон:Sfn

Elverum did not feel he had fully conveyed his grief process by the end of the album's recording. His following studio albums, Now Only (2018) which Elverum described as "part two", and Lost Wisdom Pt. 2 (2019) continue A Crow Looked at Me's themes. The three albums form a trilogy that center on Castrée's death and the birth of their daughter.Шаблон:Sfnm By the following year, Elverum said that he no longer fully related to the grief expressed on the album.Шаблон:Sfn Ultimately, the album led him to the realization "that everyone is much kinder and more mature than [he] expected" and that "opening up about this stuff improved [his] feeling about being alive".Шаблон:Sfn
