Evelyn Morris

Morris began playing piano from a young age.[3]

Their music career began as a hardcore/punk-obsessed drummer, performing in many bands but mostly including Baseball[3] and True Radical Miracle.

In 2003 Morris switched from drum kit to a mix of instruments and a loop pedal for recordings as Pikelet.[4] The project employs delay pedals, piano accordion, guitar, drums, and other forms of percussion.[5]

The name "Pikelet" comes from Evelyn's mother, who used to spoil her kids with pikelets (Australian pancake) when she was a little short of money. "She always had eggs, she always had flour and powdered milk in the cupboard, so she would just throw together pikelets", Evelyn told Mess+Noise in 2007. "It was a really big deal for me, but I found out later that it was just what she did when she had nothing else".[6]

Pikelet released their self-titled album in 2007.[1] They have toured throughout Australia, Europe and New Zealand playing with acts including Frida Hyvönen,[7] Jens Lekman,[8] Beirut, Camera Obscura, Darren Hanlon, The Blow, Sufjan Stevens, Broadcast and Ned Collette.

From 2010 Pikelet has frequently referred to a band consisting of Morris, Shags Chamberlain, Tarquin Manek and Matthew Cox. Later releases have been described as "deep psych pop", and songs have been written collaboratively.[9]

In April 2018, Morris issued a predominantly wordless, piano-based self-titled album.[2]

In August 2018, Morris provided the score for the Australian film Acute Misfortune, an adaptation of the biography of Adam Cullen by Erik Jensen, directed by Thomas M. Wright.[10]

On 18 March 2019, Morris released the final Pikelet released, the EP Goodbye.[11]
