* WeUsedToBeFriends: "The Moon" is about Phil trying to amend ties with a former friend/lover.

** Blood gets mentioned quite a bit.

* SpiritualSuccessor: Considered to be this to the classic ''Music/InTheAeroplaneOverTheSea'' by Music/NeutralMilkHotel: lo-fi folk albums with depressing subject matter. However, ''The Glow Pt. 2'' is much more lyrically-focused than [[WordSaladLyrics its spiritual predecessor]].

With cutting and emotional lyricism and innovative songwriting, ''The Glow Pt. 2'' was acclaimed upon release and is still raved over to this day, while also proving to be hugely influential since. Many have noted that ''The Glow Pt. 2'''s impact has had a similar effect to ''Music/TheVelvetUndergroundAndNico''[='=]s impact; much like how the latter had lead many to believe that even the most basic of songwriting can bring critical favour, the former has since [[FollowTheLeader seen many budding musicians recording acoustic songs with low-end equipment]] in similar hopes. The Microphones would have one last release, ''Mount Eerie'' in 2003, before Phil began the new project of... [[NamesTheSame Mount Eerie]]. However, it wasn't until 2020 that [[NotQuiteDead the Microphones name was revived]].

''The Glow Pt. 2'' is the fifth studio album by The Microphones, the now-defunct project of Washington singer-songwriter Phil Elverum, released September 25, 2001. The album's name and titular track is a reference to the fourth track on previous album ''It Was Hot, We Stayed in the Water'', and was made during a time of hardship for Elverum - his old band had split, and Phil himself had split with his girlfriend. As such, the lyrics on this album deal with the aftermath of these events and serve as an introspective of Elverum himself. What makes ''The Glow Pt. 2'' so distinct from many other folk records is Phil's adoption of lo-fi; songs can go from quiet to ''very'' loud in a near instant.
