[1]Tiny Mix Tapes [2]Sputnikmusic [3]Dawn is the third full-length album by Mount Eerie. It was officially released 1 November 2008 on P. W. Elverum & Sun.[4] The songs were all written by Phil Elverum during the winter of 2002–03, which he spent alone in a cabin in a remote part of Norway.[4][5]
The album was released on CD concurrently with an 144-page hardcover book and 16 color photo cards.[4] The book includes Elverum's journal entries and drawings from his Norway trip.[4][5] The book is bound in paper that gives the feeling of wood.[4] The album was also released as just an LP packaged with Elverum self-portraits drawn from the reflection of a window in the cabin in Norway.[4]

Tracks
Many of the songs appear on earlier releases by Mount Eerie. "Moon Sequel" is a follow-up to The Microphones' song "The Moon", and it carries the same melody. The song "Voice in Headphones" (which also appears on Lost Wisdom, released a month earlier) reprises the chorus from Björk's song "Undo", over a different verse. Elverum had previously covered Björk's "All Is Full of Love" on the 2001 Microphones album Blood.
