Evelyn Morris

Evelyn Ida Morris, also known as Pikelet, is a musician from the outer suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. Morris is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns.

They released four albums; Pikelet (2007), Stem (2010), Calluses (2013) and Tronc (2016).

Morris began playing piano from a young age.

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

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

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".

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

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.
