Release Notes:
Elvis Perkins in Dearland's new eponymous album feels very
much like the second line to his exquisitely melancholic and
much-hailed solo debut Ash Wednesday. Ash Wednesday gained
Elvis a dedicated and reverent following for its nuanced
meditations on death and grief∙many moments on that first
record felt as if the listener had tip-toed into the intimate
confines of a private elegy, enveloped in that wondrous,
old-soul quality of Elvis's voice.
There are still plenty of private moments on Elvis Perkins in
Dearland, but Elvis is now joined by a talented trio of
friends that toured with him in support of Ash Wednesday.
Along with Elvis on guitar and lead vocals, Elvis Perkins in
Dearland is Brigham Brough (upright bass, saxophone, vocals),
Wyndham Boylan-Garnett (pump organ, guitar, harmonium,
trombone, vocals), and Nick Kinsey (drums, percussion, banjo,
clarinet, vocals). Many of the new songs on Elvis Perkins in
Dearland were honed on the road by the four bandmates, whose
natural ease with one another allowed them to constantly
experiment with arrangements on the fly.
Produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Chris Shaw (Public
Enemy, Bob Dylan, Ween) and Elvis Perkins In Dearland, the
album was recorded in Upstate New York in the latter part of
2008. Shaw recorded and mixed the album as well.
'On this new record we wanted to capture the spirit of our
performances,' drummer Nick Kinsey said. 'The challenge was
to get down that spontaneity.' Perkins says, 'This album is
faster and younger than Ash Wednesday. Being in a studio with
three other creatives instead of just one was a new thing for
me. It takes four times as long to decide everythingα but in
the end, this kind of interplay made for much good.'
