Perkins and his band are due to release their eponymous album, Elvis Perkins in Dearland on March 10 2009.
Perkins has stated that he "loathe[s] the term singer-songwriter, because it reminds me of open-mic nights and coffee shops and lazy chord structures," subsequently stating that he would rather be refered to as "a recording artist."
