Eels — Hombre Lobo: 12 Songs Of Desire

in
By Chris Burland (CHARTattack) June 3, 2009 3:00 pm
Hombre Lobo is Mark Oliver Everett, a.k.a. E, a.ka. Eels' twelfth studio album, but it's only his seventh Eels album since 1996's breakthrough, Beautiful Freaks. While the musical content of this new release hasn't changed stylistically from his earlier material, there's a shift in attitude here. The music is a bit more full in its production...

Eels Embrace The Absurd

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) June 19, 2006 2:00 pm
Eels' Mark Oliver Everett, known to most as E., has always been a bit of a riddle wrapped in an enigma. In his 2003 Toronto show to promote Shootenanny!, he was a clean-shaven, flannel-wearing, honky-tonk cowboy. Last year, he came dressed to the nines with a string section in tow and did stripped-down versions of his hits. Saturday night,...

Eels — Blinking Lights And Other Revelations

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) April 26, 2005 11:32 am
It’s hard to believe the Eels have been around for a decade. To celebrate, E (Mark Oliver Everett) presents us with the ultimate in artistic over-indulgence, the double album. It's a notion that makes sense when the two records sound entirely different. Unfortunately, that isn't the case on Blinking Lights. There are some great pop songs...

Video Of The Day: Eels' "Spectacular Girl"

in
By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) October 20, 2010 3:19 pm
Never think that co-worker sitting in the cubicle next to you is a boring office rat who yawns over their laptop. That might just be their day job. They might also work as a contract killer. That's the case with the woman in Eels' video for Tomorrow Morning's "Spectacular Girl." She's a Kill Bill-esque lady (no samurai sword or yellow jumpsuit,...

Eels — "Unhinged"

in
By CHARTattack Staff February 11, 2010 1:50 pm
You know how when you were little you thought all your toys came alive while you slept? (Is that just me?) Well... Eels' video for "Unhinged" is that, minus the kids actually sleeping. There's a full-on battle between everyone, and not even Jesus can stop it. "Unhinged" appears on End Times, which is out now. Check out these...

Eels — End Times

in
By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) January 25, 2010 5:09 pm
Mark Oliver Everett's eighth studio album closely follows last year's Hombre Lobo: 12 Songs Of Desire and deals with both a personal break-up and his uncertainty with the world at large. It was largely self-recorded on an old four-track tape machine in the basement of Everett's Los Angeles house, and it's obvious throughout its 14 relatively...

Eels — "End Times"

in
By CHARTattack Staff January 19, 2010 4:25 pm
Here's the video for the title track to Eels' new album, End Times. It features an animated Mark "E" Everett wandering around a city contemplating existential themes and the apocalypse. Probably my favourite video of 2010 so far. End Times is out now. Check out these other Eels videos on CHARTattack: "In My Younger Days"...

Mark "E" Everett and his dog take an old Chevy truck to town in the clip for Eels' "In My Younger Days." Why? Everybody needs food, that's why. "In My Younger Days" will appear on End Times, which is out Jan. 19. You can see Eels' video for "The Look You Give That Guy" here, while the video for "In...

Eels' clip for Hombre Lobo: 12 Songs Of Desire's "The Look You Give That Guy" features Top Chef host (and author Salman Rushdie's ex-wife) Padma Lakshmi as Mark "E" Everett's dream (literally) date. Things are going well when she visits him at his house... until his dog gets in the way.

The the clip for Eels' "In My Dreams," a boy turns into a wolf (or at least a wookie) while he helps a woman find her lost frog. At some point, this wolf boy (hijo lobo) will grow up to be a wolf man (hombre lobo). Get it?

Eels — Live At Town Hall

in
By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) February 21, 2006 10:44 am
Seeing Mark Everett (E) playing with two multi-instrumentalists and a female string quartet at Toronto's Phoenix last June was one of my favourite concert experiences of last year. This New York concert was recorded a week later and, though the album is missing E's between-song banter, the songs are beautifully rendered. Ten of the 22 tracks come...

Eels Prepare Massive Double Album Featuring Tom Waits

By CHARTattack Staff January 26, 2005 3:30 pm
If you've ever seen an Eels live show, you know that the band have a hard time knowing when to quit. Their most notorious stunt is waiting until the house lights of a show go up and half the crowd leaves before coming back on stage for what is often a fifth encore. Their tendency towards excess will be showcased fully later this year when they...
