With its beautiful and sophisticated instrumentation, brilliant imagery-laden lyrics, and loose but intensely motivated singing, Elvis Perkins in Dearland is easily one of the best albums of the year. This dark, foggy and bird-filled video for "Chains, Chains, Chains" was directed by Sean Pecknold, the brother of Fleet Foxes frontman Robin Pecknold. Have you listened to the album? Will it have...

Swaggering folk pop is how Elvis Perkins’ musical talent has been channelled in his latest project. So much has been written about Perkins’ family history that it would be easy to take this album and use it as psychological case study, pushing and probing for insights into his psyche.Thankfully Perkins isn’t introspective – of course there are lyrics about his experiences, and it is imposs

Great Show!!!! Wow - I haven't been this blown away by a live show in quite a while. The best part about it is the band is so unassuming and very relaxed the entire time on stage. The best way to describe Elvis Perkins new band/album "Elvis Perkins in Dearland" is a mix of blue grass Bob Dylan with the poetic and haunting voice nature of Leonard Cohen. This was my first time at the Troubadour...

Artist:
I adore Elvis Perkins. Ever since Oz, Woody, and I caught him play a set at SXSW in 2007 that was sandwiched between sets from Pete Townsend and the Cold War Kids (Elvis’ set was the best of the night), I’ve been hooked. And his latest effort with his backing band Dearland is absolutely incredible.Elvis [...]

Album:
The folk-rock EP features two takes on the same "dirge".The Doomsday EP features two versions of the same song, "Doomsday", with four other tunes sandwiched between the ostensible dirges. The folk-country songs fill a much larger space than their separate parts suggest. These are the songs that are the essence of rock 'n' roll. "Stay Zombie Stay" and "Stop Drop Rock and Roll" combine the countr...

Among the list of notable musicians with the first name Elvis, we have Presley, Costello... and now, Perkins. With his debut release, 2007's Ash Wednesday, Elvis Perkins shared with his listeners a certain contemplative melancholy (his lyrics emoting the tragedy of losing both his parents). After touring with a trio of bandmates — Brigham Brough, Wyndham Boylan-Garnett, and Nick Kinsey — Perki
