- 'Wise old little boy' is an intimate portrait of Phil Elverum (the microphones) and Kyle Field (little wings). joining their tour of small towns and unconventional venues, filmmaker Ryer Banta explores the world of two incredibly unique and creative musicians. This documentary captures numerous live performances, conversations, and other revealing moments from their 'wise old little boy' tour.
I own nothing
This is about as human as music can get. They’re not master musicians, they aren’t playing sold out venues, they’re just 2 guys trying to make real and honest art. I really appreciate them for that.
This is an insane time capsule to the early 2000’s. I cant describe these feelings I get from this.
flip flops, knitted sweaters, flea market guitars, intimate music in college halls - what's not to love here??
cant believe i only just found this
there's just something magical about watching phil run through a field like a child
i bought this from kyle way way back, at what the heck fest. this reminds me so deeply of youth. xoxo
Name a more iconic duo
This makes me nostalgic for a time when I wasn’t even alive yet.
Jesus, it's so beautiful imperfect, their music!
There's parts where they're so off sync that I flinch a little bit, but it's so fantastically natural.
Nothing like it. For some reason this music gives me intense vibes of when I was just a baby in Woodstock.
So much nostalgia in a band that I've only known about for like 3 months.
funnel 6 I’m not feeling it. Call me when their music reaches its teenage years. Having said that I respect how humble they are, like children experimenting while not caring about outcome, ‘playing’ with sound, being themselves. The music does have integrity, I’ll give em that.
joanofarc33 teenage? i mean these guys have been making music for 20+ years. this documentary in particular is pretty much 14 years old.
joanofarc33 Although Phil’s music is considerably stripped down in these performances and injected with an element of playfulness, his albums are exceedingly mature and poignant. Check out “A Crow Looked At Me” under his monicker: Mount Eerie. No “teenage” experiment stuff there.
This might be my favorite video and documentary ever
I show this to all my closest friends
I was listening to "Big Black Cloud" the other month and I was listening to the folks singing in unison in the background and I thought to myself... "is that Kyle Field" And this just solidified the fact that it probably is. Love both these artists, especially Kyle. Cheers all and enjoy!
Yep, definitely Mr.LittleWings singing in the background!
Timestamp for myself when I rewatch this in a month: Mount Eerie at 5:17
Hey thanks

Boom! - Little Wings
'Boom!' (Little Wings)
Can anyone tell me the name of the Little Wings song that starts at 48:36?
i love this, thanks human
16:52 Little Wings - Shredder Sequel
love this. wondering, were The Microphones and Little Wings popular at this time? Like are these normal shows for them or are they purposely playing smaller diy spaces?
Dustin Hayes I think Glow Pt. 2 got a 10 from pitchfork the year before this, so I don’t know if I would say they were popular, but a more normal tour might have been possible
Matt Fastnaught It’s fascinating how after Glow Pt. 2 Phil could have made more accessible albums and become a more mainstream folk guy but instead stuck with his art and made the most inaccessible weird album ever with Mount Eerie.
Phil himself has said on Twitter that things didn't really blow up after The Glow Pt.2.
These were typical of shows from this time period, yes.
I feel like Phil really screwed himself over when he changed his name from the Microphones to Mount Eerie. I mean, you don't put out several banger albums that are critical darlings, and then change your name. This was his brand name, and he threw it away like it's nothing. That's not how you build a fan base, that's how you remain a tiny act that plays school gyms. It's almost like he put the Microphones in the witness protection program in order to make it disappear. How many times have people not gone to a Mount Eerie show or not checked out a Mount Eerie album, because they didn't know this show or album was actually the Microphones?
i love this
Damn I love Phil
Thank you
You haven't got the extras too, would you?
Would have loved to buy the DVD but I live in Sweden.
Thanks for uploading!
I'm sorry but I don't have them, I wasn't aware there were any.
Filip, you can buy it on the K Records website or www.pwelverumandsun.com store.

^One of the extras
What is the name of the first song they play . Phil is playing drums and Kyle is standing ???
Boom! by Little Wings
Thanks brother deep feeling. I will watch it again for it's positive vibe. The sound is extraordinary throughout I would love to know how you achieved it. Did you dub it? No criticism, it's very good.
Leaving a mark here
Hey can somebody play drums on this song?
love this
This is amazing
,
:D Was this the same time when Little Wings was recording everything on cassette and sold those cassettes too?
Jen Ship Light Green Leaves had a special cassette release around this time, so probably
11:44 song please
What year was this filmed?
2002
anyone know the song 3:34 ?
haha found it, solar system! From the mount eerie album
theres also a Little Wings song, "fall flood", which is kind of the same
omg omg
howdy phil
What's the very very first song
Cut my hands off by The Microphones and also Mount Eerie, sorry if it's too late already to respond haha
I Cut My Hands Off, its a rare cut
Third time watching this
46:50 song name?
Look at what the light did now by little wings
What happened between Phil and Kyle?
SkabCrowley did something happen???
SkabCrowley nothing they just don't collaborate as much
comment bot but i have no mouth and i must scream He’ll probably have had some kind of touch on the new Microphones album
Some personal little craziness happened at the end of ‘02. Kyle got with an ex of Phil. Phil got thrown into a weird muck. Ended up running off to Norway for a few months from November 2002 to March(?) 2003 to meditate. Beautiful songs and a fantastic 144 page diary of Phil’s came from it. They patched things up later on!
22:30
what year is this from:?
2002
진짜미국냄새보소
A lot of this seems silly. It’s like he’s an artist that isn’t taken over by pop. I also believe he couldn’t do it if he tried. Beck is a freak of nature. Cough* “one foot in the grave”
*cough
Fuck politics
*Cough.. fuck what Covid makes you think. Even if it’s tragic
what
Are these the guys the flight of the conchords parody?
:)
does anyone know the song at 11:43 ?
Look at what the light did now by little wings I think
@@claykline2830 many thanks
