Music and moveable type in Clatskanie

The C.C. Stern Type Foundry will be hosting Phil Elverum for the release of his new book of songs and poetry, “Night Palace.” For this event, Elverum will read, discuss the making of the letterpress chapbook, and most likely perform songs from his new album of the same name. The event will be at Birkenfeld Theatre, Clatskanie Cultural Center 75 South Nehalem Street Clatskanie. Elverum describes the album on his website: “Night Palace appears as a culmination of eras, arrived at after tumbling through decades of a tumultuous life and building from scratch in the settled dust. The 26 track album is a palace of many rooms, all welcoming, all varied. The songs stand vivid in their diamond sharp eloquence and distorted feedback, but only after traveling the album as a whole do we find the door. The palace is dilapidated with moss dripping through, airy, bright and open.” This event is free and open to the public. RSVP is appreciated, but not required.
