Los Angeles' singer-songwriter Elvis Perkins (son of actor Anthony Perkins)
debuted with the starkly mournful and brutally introspective
Ash Wednesday (XL, 2007), dominated by a sense
of death, a soundtrack to
his personal calvary in a mostly acoustic format,
a downtrodden vision that had distinguished role models in
Leonard Cohen and
Nick Drake
(notably the tender
Emile's Vietnam in the Sky and the otherworldly While You Were Sleeping).
He hired a real band for
Elvis In Dearland (XL, 2009)
and the EP Doomsday (2009). The music finally revealed its roots
(whether marching bands in
Doomsday or blues in I'll Be Arriving or cabaret in How's Forever Been Baby),
but
lost some of the poignancy of his debut.
