The Doomsday EP by Elvis Perkins In Dearland
Released: Oct 20 2009
We call this thing The Doomsday EP for obvious reasons, and its middle name to which it also answers is “The EP of the Id.” Being drawn to the many faces of the American strain it seems we have more or less subconsciously produced a collection speaking to and/or from several of them at once. It’s a document of impulses sleeping egos and their superiors let pass to tape. I myself didn’t know what these songs sounded like in the hands of EPID until they were processed and played back. You have a song that arrived like the rest of us by boat, a selection from the Sacred Harp, a rock ‘n roll heralding the eternal advent of rock ‘n roll, an ode to the soul of the undead and, finally (and firstly), two takes on a single song called Doomsday, one which comes from our March release and the other which leans in the direction of its original conception as something of a gospel number . And here they all are, risen from their cribs and graves, under one moonlight while their folks and undertakers look the other way.

Customer Reviews
compelling, and disturbingly beautiful - 
great EP - tracks all the way through are so well tehnically written that they bring a smile to the face. Particularly impressive the way such a 'live' sound is transported fm the studio to vinyl. the boys sound great. lookin fwd to the Brooklyn Music Hall. -Gez
