The name "Pikelet" comes from Evelyn's mother, who used to spoil her kids with [[Pancake#Australia and New Zealand|pikelets]] (Australian pancake) when she was a little short of money.

Evelyn Ida Morris, also known as Pikelet, is a musician from the outer suburbs of Melbourne, Australia.[1] Morris does not identify as either male or female and prefers to use "they", "them" and "their" as pronouns.[2]
They released four albums; Pikelet (2007), Stem (2010), Calluses (2013) and Tronc (2016).
Career
[edit]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.[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.[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 release, the EP Goodbye.[11]
