The last we heard from Elvis Perkins In Dearland, they were rattling “Chains, Chains, Chains” in a shadowy, cavernous Sean Pecknold video. Earlier, we shared Elvis Perkins In Dearland opener “Shampoo.” This time the listening session looks forward to The Doomsday EP. As you might suspect, the full-length’s “Doomsday” serves as the foundation for the forthcoming collection. It’s fleshed out by additional tracks including “Slow Doomsday” (which sounds like its title suggests). Or, as Perkins notes regarding the doubling: “[O]ne comes from our March release and the other [...] leans in the direction of its original conception as something of a gospel number.”
The tracklist:
01 “Doomsday”
02 “Gypsy Davy” (Traditional)
03 “Stay Zombie Stay”
04 “Stop Drop Rock and Roll”
05 “Weeping Mary” (J.P. Reese)
06 “Slow Doomsday”
Elvis Perkins In Dearland is out via XL. The Doomsday EP is out 10/20, also via XL, but it can be pre-ordered.

oh ho. much obliged. there’s really not enough music like this out there. just outright sincere soul.
I saw these guys over the weekend in North Adams, a 3.5 hour ride from where I live, and it was totally worth it. Bunch of nice guys, having fun, playing some sincere and rich tunes. They made the crowd run around like “Swans” during Doomsday, not sure the purpose (if there was one), but my wings were out.
At their show in Columbus they came into the crowd while playing Doomsday. It was pretty awesome. They rocked a lot more live than on record.
awesome track, love it
I absolutely love Elvis Perkins In Dreamland. I got a promo copy of the Doomsday EP and am struck by the similarities between Stay Zombie Stay and Blur’s Tender. Anyone else hear this?
