Music like mathew lee cothran

Elvis Depressedly are an American experimental pop project from Asheville, North Carolina. The band consists of former Coma Cinema frontman Mathew Lee Cothran and various collaborators. They have released eight records and several EPs.

Their music has been described as "evoking [...] childhood nights fraught with existential dread" and has been likened to the earlier music of Ariel Pink and Elliott Smith.

Elvis Depressedly was formed in 2011 in Columbia, South Carolina, originally as a way for Cothran to explore his Bowie-esque alter ego of "Mickey", referenced in the early EPs as a way for him to confront and examine his fears and anxieties.

The band debuted with the self-release of the five-track EP Save the Planet Kill Yourself. It was followed by the EP Goner, and the single "Disgraceland" in the same year. In 2012 Cothran played his first show under the name Elvis Depressedly, playing the entirety of the album Mickey's Dead, which was released later that year on Orchid Tapes.
