Elvis Depressedly is the lo-fi indie pop musical project that emerged from the creative mind of singer-songwriter Mathew Lee Cothran. The project began to take shape in the early 2010s in Columbia, South Carolina, as Cothran partnered with multi-instrumentalist Delaney Mills to craft the band's distinctive sound—a melange of melancholic melodies, hazy vocals, and introspective lyrics that resonate with themes of existential despair and fleeting hope. Elvis Depressedly's music is characterized by its DIY ethos, often recorded on modest equipment and embracing the raw textures and imperfections that add to its emotional depth.

The band has garnered a cult following with an array of releases that range from subdued acoustic tracks to fully arranged dreampop gems. With notable albums like "New Alhambra" and "Depressedelica," they've continued to evolve their sound while retaining an intimate connection with listeners that finds beauty in the somber aspects of life. Their discography, including beloved releases such as "Holo Pleasures / California Dreamin'" and "Hotter Sadness," exhibits a balance between the ephemeral and the eternal, as the band's name itself playfully nods to the clash of the iconic and the depressive. Elvis Depressedly's creativity remains a beacon for those seeking solace in the serene undercurrents of indie music.
