Eels

Europe 2025 press. LTD red.
This is Eels at their most wired. Still all the usual sad man stuff lurking in there but it’s covered in fuzz, weird little loops, and slightly unhinged energy. John Parish all over it so it’s got that scrappy, blown out feel rather than the softer singer songwriter thing. One minute it’s stomping and noisy, next minute it’s dead fragile again. Doesn’t sit still at all. Bit messy, bit dark, bit catchy. Underrated one. FFO: Tom Waits dirtier bits, Beck mid period, PJ Harvey John Parish era, lo fi rock, oddball indie, songs that feel slightly broken but still hooky
