I can't explain to you how perfect this video is. The way Phil tries to smile through his lyrics as if their cringy, and Kyle just stays with him all the way and compliments them. It's a perfect encapsulation of Phil's music.
Playing an impromptu acoustic performance with Kyle Field is the highest musical honour you can recieve, better than a Grammy, Feist and Phil are two of few who have achieved it.
I hate to burst this bubble for anyone, but it wasn't so impromptu. Kyle and Phil worked together on Mount Eerie, with Kyle providing vocals and instrumentals on IV. Mt. Eerie.
Yes, his surname is Norwegian. It was probably Anglicised or something along the way and I think he decided to put the "E" back in when he discovered it originated from the town in Norway.
