| Elvis Perkins - I Came For Fire |
Release Date: Out Now
It's a bit like being called Pele
and having a kicking about in the park if you're named Elvis and decide to take
a bash at being a musician. The pressure must be immense but if you can
shoulder it then you might just be able to have something of a career, like
Elvis Perkins who is in the middle of an extensive world tour. This new single
from the hard working musician, 'I Came For Fire', is a muted and shuffling
piece of Jazz influenced indie-folk that could have been recorded at any time
over the last 100 years such is the wonderfully lo-fi quality of the recording.
There is an early morning, creeping sun rise quality to this tune but not with
the optimism you might expect at day break, more the feeling that this is the
last sunrise you will ever witness as you head in to battle or to the gallows
to meet your maker. I would recommend checking out Elvis Perkins at a live show
but make sure you order a whisky or a large glass of red, this is music to sip
to.
