Matthew Buckley / (2021) Matthew Buckley Sings & Plays the Music of Bill Doss EP Release Date: July 30, 2021

“There is nothing that I can tell you that you don’t already know…”

– thebilldoss, “Courtyard”

One of the core personalities of the Elephant 6 Recording Company, the songs that Bill Doss wrote and recorded with groups like The Olivia Tremor Control and The Sunshine Fix have been continuing sources of both reverie and inspiration; since adolescence I have held a particular affinity for the music and voice of Bill Doss — his songs that I have added to my songbook are among my favorites to sing and play. With that in mind, I have attempted (with a little help from my friends!) to pay tribute to the legacy of a once-in-a-lifetime songwriter and musician whose voice has accompanied me through both good times and bad. This little digital EP functions as something of a sampler for the complete collection of songs, which is still forthcoming (keep your eyes peeled, folks…) I hope you will enjoy these three rough mixes and share in celebration of the life and music of Bill Doss. Thank you.

Rest in Peace, Bill Doss
