the Microphones

During the live recording at Maxwell's on September 8, 2002, The Microphones were riding the wave of their acclaimed album 'The Glow Pt. 2,' which was released earlier that same year. This album showcased their distinctive blend of lo-fi aesthetics and intricate songwriting, making it a defining moment in their career. The live performance reflects the album's raw emotional depth, particularly in tracks like 'I Want to Be Cold.' Fans often remember 'The Glow Pt. 2' as a seminal work in indie music, and this concert serves as a vivid snapshot of Phil Elverum's evolution as an artist. Interestingly, Elverum’s ability to weave storytelling into his music has only grown deeper since this performance, making each live show a meditative experience that resonates even more today.
