Blinking Lights And Other Revelations - Eels

Souljacker - Eels

in them, but here's the 4th from Eels, and they're going from strength to strength. While the themes of alienation and freakery remain pretty much the same, this album sees Eels take on a harder edge. The wierdness is still there, but in places, this album really rocks. The band consists of E on vocals and numerous instruments, Butch on drums, John Parish on guitars and keyboards, and Kool G Murder on bass.

Electro-shock Blues - Eels

about lead singer 'E' begin to make sense. Choosing subject material that any sane songwriter would avoid is certainly not in 'E's script. And they call Radiohead depressing, next to Eels indie's great hope sound like Steps. Eltro-Shock Blues is an intimate record but singularly lacks the comfort that intimacy provides.
