Elvis Depressedly have announced a west coast tour today with support from Erik Phillips (formerly known as Cat Be Damned). All tickets for dates are on sale now (tour dates below).
Elvis Depressedly most recently released the holo pleasures / california dreamin’ LP on Run For Cover Records last summer, which is both a re-issue of their 2013 holo pleasures EP and a new EP of unreleased material on the B-side, california dreamin‘.
holo pleasures is a 12 minute cult favorite EP amongst the DIY scene and has spawned many bands from its sulky muddled influence. 2015’s New Alhambra displayed a fully texturized shift toward brightly melancholic noise-pop, inspired by Cotheran’s influences and unsung heroes such as The Waterboys, Prefab Sprout and Emperor X. holo pleasures / california dreamin‘ is available now via the Run For Cover webstore.
Richmond, Virginia artist Erik Phillips, who previously released music under the name Cat Be Damned, received praise for his 2016 tape Daydreams in a Roach Motel (Joy Void Recordings) from Stereogum, Fader, and impose among other outlets. Daydreams in a Roach Motel is available now via the Joy Void webstore.
