Looking to cheer yourself up after the end of the festivite holidays? Eels definitely won't do that for you.
Eels consists of singer/songwriters Mr. E backed by a revolving band. The focal point of Eels material is Mr. E's dour lyrics which manage to be captivating in their maudlin storytelling. Despite this seemingly off putting approach to song writing, Eels manage to provide a captivating listen with the intense lyrical content and a varied backing of electric and acoustic guitars, piano and the odd horn section. Electro-Shock Blues is my favourite release by the band and is a good choice for those who wish to dwell in their post-holidays gloom.
