Lost Wisdom is an album by Mount Eerie, with Canadian musicians Julie Doiron and Fred Squire. It is set to be released 7 October 2008 on P. W. Elverum & Sun.[1][2]
The recording of the album was somewhat spontaneous. Doiron and Squire were had a few days between a recent tour and an upcoming recording session in Olympia, Washington,[2] and made a surprise visit to Phil Elverum in Anacortes.[1] Although Elverum was reluctant to ask the two to record an album,[2] the three decided to do so and quickly recorded the album. Elverum considers Doiron his favorite singer,[1] and says recording with her was a "dream come true".[2] She is a member of the Moncton, New Brunswick band Eric's Trip, an indie/noise pop band from the early 1990s. He considers the band his favorite of all time, and says "they're kind of the reason why I got into playing music".[2] On his 2000 album It Was Hot, We Stayed in the Water (released as "The Microphones"), he covered the Eric's Trip song "Sand" from their 1993 release Songs About Chris.
A different version of the song "With My Hands Out" appears on Mount Eerie's 2004 release Seven New Songs, and other tracks will also appear on Dawn, set to be released 1 November 2008.
