about

"Missing Elvis" is the first single from the upcoming "The Pushkin Sessions" from Fancy Trash, releasing August 11, 2023.

The full set of songs that comprise "The Pushkin Sessions" — an album of tracks recorded live in the studio in 2007 and unmixed until 16 years later — will be released on November 10, 2023.

Background:
September 2007 marked a significant milestone for Fancy Trash as they celebrated their five-year anniversary with a sold-out show at the Iron Horse Music Hall in Northampton, MA. Led by the talented trio of Dave Houghton (guitar and vocals), Joshua Thayer (upright bass), and Ben Laine (drums), the band expanded their lineup for this special occasion. They welcomed back founding member Jason Smith on drums and percussion and added Katy Schneider on pedal steel, lap steel, and backing vocals. Thane Thomsen of the Figments joined on piano and keyboards, infusing their sound with a new dimension. A month after the show, the magic of the expanded lineup was captured in a live recording session at The Pushkin in Greenfield, MA. However, the recording remained hidden until 2023 when it was finally mixed by Mark Alan Miller at Sonelab and mastered by Jonathan Wyner at M-Works Mastering. The result was the long-delayed album, "The Pushkin Sessions," a testament to Fancy Trash's artistic growth, unwavering dedication, and remarkable chemistry.

The Pushkin Sessions band:
- Dave Houghton: Vocals and guitar
- Joshua Thayer: Upright bass, backing vocals
- Katy Schneider: Lap steel, pedal steel, bouzouki, backing vocals
- Thane Thomsen: Piano, keyboards
- Jason Smith: Drums, percussion
- Ben Laine: Drums, percussion

Recorded by Max Adam at The Pushkin, Greenfield, MA, November 2007.
Mixed by Mark Alan Miller at Sonelab, Easthampton, MA, May 2023.
Mastered by Jonathan Wyner at M-Works Mastering, Boston, MA, June 2023.

lyrics

And I’m missing Elvis
And I just can’t help it
And I’m only around just like you

And I miss George and John
And those who don’t belong
And I’m only around breathing too

Where are you?
Where are you?

And I’m missing everyone
And I’m singing everything
And I’m only day dragging too

And I’m missing the love
The love that’s only lost
And I’m only around breathing too, breathing too

And you guess it was true
It’s a life you listen to
It’s a place where heroes were made to lose

And you guess it was true
It’s a life you listen to
It’s a place where heroes will lose

And I’m missing Elvis
And I just can’t help it
And I’m only alive breathing, too

And I’m missing everyone
And I’m singing everything
And I’m only around just like you, just like you

Cuz I’m only empty, only empty, only empty
