elvis perkins

elvis perkins is releasing his album tomorrow ash wednesday. its beautiful stuff. a soothing beautiful voice full of emotion. simple folky guitar. then comes in the upright base and clean drums, kind of americana-ish. its actually a sound ive never really heard before. im listening to "while you were sleeping" now and i could potentially see it as a replacement for the end scene of the graduate instead of "mrs. robinson." or maybe it would be good while riding on a train through the mountains...

listen to the song "while you were sleeping" here, via my old kentucky blog
also, make sure you check out his myspace page and home page

he is coming to sokal underground on april 4th. i will probably try to go if anyone wants to join me.
