'Elvis Perkins in Dearland' presents his new single 'Hey' and sees the group on fine form mixing lush vocal melodies with complex yet uplifting instrumentation. The band are clearly in playful spirits having as much fun as is possible when committing ideas to tape. The group sound comfortably at ease with the presentation of their music. A quality little honky-tonk. 'Hey' is backed by 'Shampoo' which is a little steadier, sharing elements of the song 'House of the Rising Sun' by The Animals, it's got a similar hammond organ sound and dramatic backing vocal. It's got a nice harmonica solo too. Cheeky.
