Wind's Poem is the fourth full-length album by Mount Eerie, released on July 14, 2009.

Several of the tracks are inspired by black metal, and showcases Phil Elverum's "relatively newfound affinity for Xasthur and other lynchpins of the unholy genre.

[13] Musically the album is reminiscent of his 2008 EP Black Wooden Ceiling Opening and dynamic in nature with Elverum describing it as "Quiet/loud/quiet/loud.

[3] The first song on the album, "Wind's Dark Poem", features a black metal style opening.

"[10] He described the lyrics as "a collection of images and ideas", "that came out of me at the very beginning of the writing of this album that were kind of the seeds that the rest of the songs came from.

[10] Elverum described the song as a "table of contents...a bunch of noise and ideas that are a preview for what's to come.

"[10] "The epic lullaby",[1] "Through The Trees" was an attempt with fellow musician Nick Krgovich to recreate "David Lynch sound-track synth music", specifically "Polish Poem" from Inland Empire.

[14] Krgovich sings alongside Elverum, however his voice is "high and distant"—intended to represent the wind.

[13] In an interview with Believer Magazine, Elverum commented on how due to the song's length it would be more fitting for final then the second track.

Elverum described their creative process as free-form, stating that We didn't know that we were recording an album or anything.

[13] "The Hidden Stone" and "The Mouth of Sky" are reminiscent of the guitar riff heavy songs "I Want to Be Cold" and "Samurai Sword" from his 2001 album The Glow Pt.

[14] "Wind Speaks" as explained by Elverum is about "standing on Commercial Avenue, and clouds are rolling off a hill on Mount Erie, and it's windy.

[14] "Between Two Mysteries" samples "Laura Palmer's Theme" by Angelo Badalamenti and directly references the show by name.

[17][7] It features palm muted electric guitars, percussion, an ascending vocal melody and synthesized strings playing the aforementioned sample.

Ben Ratliff in his review of the show played at the Le Poisson Rouge in Greenwich Village, New York described the show as "a recollected chronicle of awe, sung in a high, light voice, a little like Will Oldham's, but clearer and straighter, without its coils and burrs.

"[16] Crawford Philleo of The Know reviewing the show played at Rhinoceropolis, Denver wrote that "Elverum and company terrorized the venue with sonic blasts of distortion so heavy the walls shook" concluding with "The set was nothing less than amazing".
