[07.01.2009]Elvis Perkins In Dearland – “Chains, Chains, Chains”
Author: montrey
Elvis Perkins in Dearland has just released a new video for their recently released self-entitled album. The video is for the song “Chains, Chains, Chains,” the song itself sounds amazing. I like the use of the bass in this song, I love the way it seems to stand out. This is what folk music is all about. The video also is a sight to see, check it out below:

I got the chance to see these guys open for Bon Iver a few weeks ago and was ridiculously impressed. I highly recommend going to a show because the studio version of ‘Chains’ simply fails to capture the power of this band. While this a beautiful song, wait until you hear how loud Elvis Perkins and the boys get during something like ‘Doomsday’; brass blaring and bass drum pounding, you’re left either wanting to dance with or sit in awe of their energy.
Ya.. to be honest, I haven’t even heard of them until trey’s post.Whenever someone does post something I haven’t heard of, I try to immediately hate on it.. cause that’s just my role in life, however their pretty amazing and I’m jealous you got to see them and bon iver in the same night
I saw this band when they opened up for Bon Iver also. Great show. Got the album. This is def. what folk is all about.
