The Doomsday EP

VINYL FORMAT. About his new album, Elvis Perkins has the following to say: "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 album 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 moon light while their folks and undertakes look the other way."
