Elverum and Castrée performing in 2006

A Crow Looked at Me is the eighth studio album by Mount Eerie, a solo project of the American musician Phil Elverum. Released in 2017, it was composed in the aftermath of the diagnosis of his 35-year-old wife, Geneviève Castrée, with pancreatic cancer in 2015 and her death in July 2016. Elverum wrote and recorded the songs over a six-week period in the room where she died, mostly using instruments she left behind. The lyrics are presented in a diary-like form and sung in a raw, intimate style. They bluntly detail Castrée's illness and death, Elverum's grief, and his relationship with their infant child. It is soundtracked by sparse folk instrumentation. It was widely praised for its emotional potency. The album went on to be one of the most acclaimed albums of 2017 and of Elverum's career. His following albums, Now Only (2018) and Lost Wisdom pt. 2 (2019), further detail and examine Castrée's illness and early death. (Full article...)

Comment: @DMT biscuit: The suggested blurb is only 540 characters while the TFA instructions currently recommend that the blurb be between 925 and 1025 characters including spaces. I think the blurb would need to be longer to be featured on the main page. Aoba47 (talk) 04:06, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Aoba47: Fixed. DMT biscuit (talk) 10:57, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The article looks great, a nice fresh FA - The blurb also looks good to me, with the exception of the fact that I believe the semicolon is incorrectly used in both instances. There should also be a space between the ending period and the {{TFAFULL}} template. Once these issues are fixed I'll be happy to support. AviationFreak💬 01:06, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
