Simple statements best cut through cluttered times, and many notable short or EP-length discs released this year prove the point. Add to the list Phil Elverum's newest, playing host to Julie Doiron and her current touring co-guitarist Fred Squire and coming away with 25 minutes of music. Shedding light/giving air after the smoky darkness of spring's Black Wooden Ceiling Opening (ten bursts of Rick White-like hardcore), Lost Wisdom's co-ed call-and-response and harmony singing fans the flames of domestic unrest, paying lived-through tribute to White and Doiron's work in Eric's Trip, a band that inspired Elverum to first record as The Microphones.
