Hey, it's Elvis Perkins in Dearland

Last month we gave you the first glimpse of Elvis Perkins in Dearland’s new eponymous album, the track Shampoo.

Now comes the new single from the album, Hey. Propelled by the pounding, ring-tailed beat of the marching drum, Hey is one of the catchiest songs from the album and perfectly balances its propulsive rhythm with delicate vocal harmonies supplied by Lavender Diamond front-woman Becky Stark.

In a traditional New Orleans funeral procession, “the second line” refers to the lively troupe of brass musicians who trail behind the mourners, injecting a spirit of spontaneous celebration into an otherwise sombre affair. Indeed, Elvis Perkins in Dearland feels very much like the second line to his exquisitely melancholic and much-hailed solo debut Ash Wednesday, conjuring both the greatest celebration and the saddest funeral, channelling an ageless wisdom that deepens with each new listen.

Elvis Perkins in Dearland is due out early April.

New track from Elvis Perkins in Dearland

Having released his intimate debut album Ash Wednesday back in 2006, Elvis Perkins now returns with a new album, Elvis Perkins in Dearland. Elvis Perkins in Dearland is the collective name of Elvis and his three piece band (bassist Brigham Brough, keyboardist/guitarist Wyndham Boylan-Garnett, and drummer Nicholas Kinsey) who have been touring with Elvis over the past few years.

On first single and opening track Shampoo, Elvis knocks out a catchy, loping riff on his acoustic guitar even as he is being surrounded by a collective chorus of whistles, tempting him to come join the circle. And join it he does—with the first seductive thrush and pull of Wyndham’s B3 organ, the song eases into its catchy hitch-step rhythm and Elvis’s lonesome call “sweep up, little sweeper boy” is folded into the textured fullness of the Dearland sound.

Produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Chris Shaw (Bob Dylan, Ween) the new album is due out in early March. You can hear more tracks at their website.
