El Campo Release 'Sloe-Eyed' w/ Elmore; Announce National Tour

Irreverent alt-country quintet El Campo have returned to bring more banjo-kicked, folk inspired fun with the release of their latest EP, Skinny Kids/Sloe-Eyed. Driven by their down-home flair and enlightened songwriting chops, the 7" double A-side will offer a hint of what's on the horizon for the Texas crew. The Skinny Kids/Sloe-Eyed double-A Side will be available to graze the eardrums of fans old and new on January 15th.

El Campo have taken 90's emo to the dirt and raised it back up in Wranglers. One part folk, one part banjo and a little bit of debauchery, lead singer and songwriter and chief songwriter Jerid Reed Morris paints lyrical visions and melodies that catch in your mind like a stick in the mud. "Skinny Kids" opens with lonesome longing that gets punched up by claw-picking banjo, while "Spanish Revival" highlights the guys' signature smooth-as-molasses pedal steel.

Meanwhile, "Sloe-Eyed" channels that 90's emo spirit and shakes a little desert sand all over it. The track was unleashed by Elmore and is available HERE

El Campo is singer-songwriter guitarist Jerid Reed Morris, pedal-steel player and singer Nick Richman, Bulls fan and banjo-picker extraordinaire Zach Almaguer, drummer and taco aficionado Rodolfo Villareal III and bassist Charlie Cruz. The quintet split their time between the Austin and San Antonio, and spend their time touring, recording, and remembering all day the precious Alamo.
