WERS Album of the Month | April | Elvis Perkins In Dearland

Posted in Daytime by wersmusic on April 21, 2009

It’s time for our WERS ALBUM OF THE MONTH!

Each month, the WERS Music Staff reviews hundreds of releases to bring you the WERS Album of the Month—our pick for the best album from an emerging artist. April’s Album of the Month is the self-titled sophomore release from Elvis Perkins in Dearland. The follow-up to his beautiful 2007 debut release, Ash Wednesday, Elvis Perkins In Dearland features unique instrumentation, a robust horn section, and dark lyrical imagery.

Listen to WERS on Tuesday, April 21st as we spend the day highlighting tracks from the album and giving away copies throughout the day! Look to WERS.ORG for exclusive Elvis Perkins In Dearland content.

Also, stay tuned as Elvis Perkins In Dearland comes to WERS for an in-studio performance on Wednesday, April 22nd at 3:30 PM. He’ll be stopping by before playing a SOLD OUT show at the Brattle Theatre that night.

Check below where you’ll be able to hear Music Director John Parsons’ exclusive interview with Elvis Perkins, plus a preview of the songs off the album.
