As far as artists go, you really can't beat Phil Elverum.

What should I listen to after The Glow Pt. II?

[maxvsmaradona]

Empire! Empire! (I Was A Lonely Estate)

[dancelukedance]

Dead kings

[oddwithoutend]

What should I listen to after The Glow Pt. II?
Since Elverum has many great releases, it really depends on your preferences. It Was Hot, We Stayed In The Water is The Microphones at their most accessible, and is as pleasant as its title suggests. Mount Eerie is an epic, minimalistic concept album featuring much experimentation with everything from ambience to techno, but centres around Elverum's imaginative folk. Wind's Poem is one of the best releases of 2009 and while it features some black metal dabbling, that aspect is not nearly as much of a turn off as what you may expect. In fact, it works to a high degree of excellence and in my opinion is Elverum's third best release (TGP2> ME> WP> IWH,WSITW). Personally, I went to Mount Eerie after The Glow, Pt. 2 and I was beyond impressed. Hope that helps, man.

Cheers, I'll give Mount Eerie a listen soon.

Faun

Faun is a German (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany) pagan folk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pagan_folk)/darkwave (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darkwave) band formed in 2002. The originality of their music style is that they fall back to "old" instruments, and the singing is always the center of attention. The vocals are performed in a variety of languages, including German, Latin, and Scandinavian languages. Their instrument include celtic harp (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celtic_harp), Swedish nyckelharpa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyckelharpa), hurdy gurdy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurdy_gurdy), bagpipes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagpipe), cittern (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cittern), flutes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flute) and many others.
