In the year 2000, Yoyo Records was very proud to release The Microphones' album Window. This collection of six songs and seventeen audio recording experiments helped to establish The Microphones' Phil Elvrum as one of indie music's most innovative artists. The album features the playing and/or voices of some of indie music's best-known names, including Dennis Driscoll, Mirah and Calvin Johnson, and was mostly recorded at that hotbed of audio activism, Dub Narcotic Studio.

In the year 2000, Yoyo Records was very proud to release The Microphones' album Window. This collection of six songs and seventeen audio recording experiments helped to establish The Microphones' Phil Elvrum as one of indie music's most innovative artists. The album features the playing and/or voices of some of indie music's best-known names, including Dennis Driscoll, Mirah and Calvin Johnson, and was mostly recorded at that hotbed of audio activism, Dub Narcotic Studio. The songs and experiments run the gamut from tender to bombastic. Stereo is used in uncommon ways and tape delay is used on instruments that don't often experience echo. Many of the sounds used in the experiments are drawn from tracks off The Microphones' album Don't Wake Me Up. The heavenly backing vocals on the song "Ocean" are an example of Phil Elvrum's ability to translate what he had heard and loved about the Pet Sounds-era Beach Boys, and in doing so he made it his own and gave it to all! of us. Now, in the year 2004, Yoyo Records is proud once again to offer the re-release of the out-of-print Window. We hope you love it as much as we do.
