[10.22.2009]Daily 2% – Chilled and Ready to Serve [Elvis Perkins]

Elvis Perkins

This is your Daily 2% – Chilled and Ready to Serve. We will try to bring you one “chill” track every day. This is for when you get home and you are trying to unwind. You reach for that glass of wine or that unlit Black & Mild or maybe you reach for something more herbal. This track is for those times. We will try to bring you at least one a day. We are just your milkmen and I’m here to make a delivery. Chill…..

Today’s delivery is brought to you by Elvis Perkins. I’m a huge fan of folky music if its done right and I have to say I’m a huge fan of any work done by this guy Elvis. One of the main reasons I like his music is because his voice has that “haunting” sound like you would hear from Radiohead or something. The track I’m bringing to you today is called “The Night & The Liquor” and its from his album entitled Ash Wednesday which came out in ‘07. this track is definitely low tempo/chilled-out and the song really displays that “haunting” thing i’m talking about that seems to chill you out. So sit back and relax…

[08.13.2009]Elvis Perkins In Dearland

Here at Earmilk, there are a few favorites that get passed around and around. We talk about them at the meetings, we go to the shows, and we listen while we work. Elvis Perkins is one of those artists. I recently saw him and his band open up for Bon Iver in Orlando, and I can’t even begin to tell you how good the show was.

Elvis Perkins is a folk-rock recording artist ( I call him “recording artist”, because hates the term “singer/songwriter”. It reminds him of being a bad guitar player at open mic night.) He came to prominence with the release of his debut studio album, Ash Wednesday in 2007. He then toured in support of the album with his band Elvis Perkins in Dearland, composed of Perkins alongside multi-instrumentalists Brigham Brough, Wyndham Boylan-Garnett and Nick Kinsey. The band released their debut, Elvis Perkins in Dearland, on March 10, 2009.

Known for their wide range of dynamics and eclectic instrumentation, Elvis Perkins in Dearland have frequently drawn comparisons to Leonard Cohen, Neutral Milk Hotel, Buddy Holly and The Band. The band formed in Providence, RI around 2004 when Elvis moved to the East Coast upon completing Ash Wednesday, although the members have been friends and collaborators for many years.
