I'm upset I found out about this just now, but Elvis Perkins has posted three songs from his upcoming album on his website, elvisperkins.net. Since his first album, Perkins has put together a band called Elvis Perkins in Dearland, and has apparently moved on from the melancholy of his first release. In his defense (not that he'd need one for an excellent album), Ash Wednesday was written in the wake of his mother's tragic death in the 9/11 attacks, a day before the anniversary of his father's death (the actor who played Norman Bates). It's still the simple but effective folk songs that brought him modest popularity, but there's a flair to these new songs which will surely bring him a larger audience this year.
Do yourself a favor and listen to the tracks on his website. I also put up a song from Ash Wednesday.
