Elvis Perkins




















It first started last weekend listening to This American Life, in the closing of act 1 the show faded out to this first song..In a 4 second glimpse I knew I had to find out who was singing. With a little goo-diligence I tracked down the song, While You Were Sleeping..As the week progressed he was popping up on every station I happened upon, each song better than the one before. Things always seem to happen that way, like when you learn a new word and then hear people using it all the time. I find myself wondering, was I really ignorant to that word all these years or was I just meant to learn it now, right before everyone else started using it..... It a shame it took me so long to find this guy, but then again...maybe it came at just the right time.  Check these two out. I love this guy.

  1. I dig! These tracks made the top of my "sunday naptime in a hammock in the middle of the woods" playlist. Here's another on that playlist that I think you would enjoy. Check it.
