Description
Eels’ song-writing commander-in-chief, Mark Oliver Everett, or E, has never been afraid of a little public soul-searching. The second Eels studio album, Electro-Shock Blues, focused on both the suicide of his sister and his mother’s fight with cancer. The Cautionary Tales Of… paints in slightly lighter shades – E’s self-confessed “assholery” in relationships – but the tone is no less pained. From the opening lyrics on Parallels (“Woke up lost, in a world I didn’t know”) this is a majestically constructed personal struggle that delivers a typically unhappy ending. Brittle and forlorn Agatha Chang is a tale of neglected love, while the swooning strings that drive Lockdown Hurricane deliver an impending sense of separation. It’s the chiming guitars of album centrepiece, A Swallow In The Sun, that really underlines a sense that The Cautionary Tales Of… operates in the same ballpark as Sea Change – Beck’s 2002 work of staggering heartbreak.
Latest release from the Eels on 180 Gram Double Clear vinyl. Download code included. This is the deluxe Edition.
