  • 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. (en)
  • A Crow Looked At Me è l'ottavo album in studio di Mount Eerie, un progetto solista del musicista americano Phil Elverum, pubblicato il 24 marzo 2017, su etichetta Elverum, . È un concept album sulla morte della moglie di Elverum, la fumettista e musicista canadese . L'album è stato scritto e prodotto interamente da Elverum, che lo ha registrato, utilizzando principalmente gli strumenti di Castrée, nella stanza in cui è morta. A partire dal precedente lavoro di Elverum, A Crow Looked At Me presenta una produzione minima e una scarsa strumentazione con testi che raccontano la malattia e la morte di Castrée e il suo conseguente dolore. Prima dell'uscita dell'album, Elverum aveva pubblicato due singoli, Real Death il 18 gennaio 2017 e "Ravens" il 15 febbraio 2017. A Crow Looked At Me è stato un successo critico immediato e diffuso, apparendo in numerosi elenchi di fine anno. Negli anni successivi alla sua uscita, l'album è apparso in diverse liste di fine decennio. Alcuni critici hanno scoperto che, a causa della natura personale dell'album, la revisione è stata difficile e irrispettosa.Pitchfork lo ha inserito alla posizione numero 14 nella classifica "i migliori album del 2017".
