"Elvis In Dearland" is intimate and energetic with moments of intense beauty, easily flowing into joyous, foot stomping upbeat melodies. The textured full sound; captured by Grammy Award-winning producer Chris Shaw (BOB DYLAN), is one for fans of NEUTRAL MILK HOTEL, THE BAND and early VAN MORRISON. "Elvis Perkins in Dearland" is the collective name of Elvis and his new band. Between them they play upright bass, saxophone, pump organ, harmonium, trombone, percussion, banjo and clarinet. The new album feels very much like the second line to ELVIS PERKINS exquisitely melancholic and much-hailed solo debut 'Ash Wednesday?. There's celebration in the music; string explorations, New Orleans horns and distorted blues rock. LAVENDER DIAMOND front-woman Becky Stark also drops in to provide some delicate vocal harmonies on "Hey".
