PRESS for Elvis Perkins in Dearland

"Perkins still writes about death, having lost both his parents to tragic circumstances, but he does so with a sort of homespun grace, turning the funeral dirges of yesteryear into cathartic celebrations. Supported by a proper band and a veritable heap of instruments -- including horns, pump organ, clarinet, and banjo— Perkins tackles a number of rootsy styles here, from the brassy New Orleans bounce of "Doomsday" to the old-timey chamber pop of "Send My Regards to Lonelyville," whose climax involves a tangle of saxophones, tuba, strings, and brushed percussion." —Andre Leahey, All Music

"After the often difficult listen that was Ash Wednesday,
a to-the-bone study of the trauma of grief, it is heartening to see
that musically and lyrically, and (hopefully) emotionally, Elvis
Perkins has made real progress." —Wilbur Kane, The Skinny
