Concept
[edit]Upon announcing the albums release, Phil Elverum said the album was heavily inspired by Zen meditation[5], which he said he had been a "dabbler" in for decades, but finally made a regular part of his life in his 30s and 40s. His label explained in the press release that "After natural disasters, things do grow back[...] Elverum became a father in 2014 and then his partner fell ill with a fatal cancer and died a year later. These and other brutal waves of change kept pounding for years and it was all documented in the white knuckle songwriting on the albums A Crow Looked At Me (2017), Now Only (2018) and Lost Wisdom pt. 2 (2019)", adding that "It was in this patient clarity that Night Palace came to be written and recorded from 2022 to 2024."
