Kevin Morby), mastersystem (remixed by Mogwai), The Lemon Twigs, Sam Evian, and Bernice. More

In the video for Eels’ latest single “Kinda Fuzzy,” directed by Jessica Hundley, frontman Mark Oliver Everett, aka E, plays a down-on-his-luck kids’ TV-show host who finds that special something to put a spring back in his over-sized step.

Since Beautiful Freak debuted in 1996, Mark Oliver Everett (aka Eels, aka E) has been crafting quirkily moody pop songs enabling him to hone Eels’ eclectic sound into a unique hybrid style that is less a composite of multiple genres and more of an unclassifiable, singular genre unto itself. More

Eels’ Mark Everett has never been known for his optimism. Even in its sunniest moments, his music is always cut with an element of spiraling introversion. So with a title like The Cautionary Tales of Mark Oliver Everett, it’s pretty clear album number 11 isn’t going to be all shits and giggles. More

Channelling “Hey Hey, My My”-era Neil Young in sentiment, it’s an odd line to open an album that verifies that complacency is still not something Eels need worry about. More

Tomorrow Morning is his ninth studio album, the final part of a trilogy begun with Hombre Loco and End Times. More

“I’ll lock the world away/Haunted by my better days,” Mark Oliver Everett, aka E, wheezes dejectedly on “Nowadays,” exhibiting the dignified sense of resignation that colors End Times, the second Eels album in less than 10 months, and light years away emotionally from his most recent, Hombre Lobo. Lobo found E assuming the fictional werewolf character “Dog Faced Boy,” waxing rapturously of unrequited love and desire. Here, he seems enmeshed in memory, consumed with the inevitable deterioration of relationships across time and distance, while still fitfully yearning for redemption. More
