Description

Double 10” for the band’s new studio album, their tenth!

Double vinyl, gatefold sleeve, with printed inner sleeves.

 

Album Notes:

Eels (often typeset as eels or EELS) is an American alternative rock band, formed in California in 1995 by singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Mark Oliver Everett, better known as “E” (son of famous physicist Hugh Everett III). Band members have changed across the years, both in the studio and on stage, making Everett the only official member for the most of the band’s work. Often filled with family, death and lost love themes, Eels’ music straddles a wide range of genres, which is evidenced with the peculiar musical style of every album. Since 1996, Eels has made ten major studio releases, Wonderful, Glorious (2013) being their most recent release.

 

Eels appear on several film soundtracks, including Scream 2, American Beauty, Road Trip, Holes, The Anniversary Party, Knocked Up, Yes Man, The End of Violence, Hellboy II, Hot Fuzz, Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away 3D and the first three Shrek films.

 

Wonderful, Glorious is a studio album by Eels, produced by Vagrant Records, which was released on February 4, 2013. A worldwide tour has also been planned to accompany the album release.

 

Recording:

The songs were recorded in band leader Mark Oliver Everett’s home studio in Los Feliz, Los Angeles, which was built for this album, after his previous home studio became too cramped for effectively recording. In an unusual choice for an Eels album, Everett decided to work on the songs by jamming with fellow Eels members and composing at home, only drawing upon sparse lyrics from his notebooks. He got the idea of collaborating with these musicians in particular after his last two tours and three albums featured a relatively stable line-up to the Eels musical collective.

 

Reception:

The Skinny’s Stu Lewis gave the album four out of five stars praising the harder rock sound of the album calling it “work few contemporary indie rock bands could better” and Eric Magnuson’s review in American Songwriter writes that they lyrics are demanding “like [Everett] has a knife to your throat, creating a wonderful paradox”. Jude Clarke of BBC Music summarizes her review by saying the album “continues the band’s long-running, idiosyncratic and distinctively creative career path.” Maddy Costa of The Guardian also praised the album’s hard rock sound, noting that the lyrics are “delivered in a growl so jittery and aggressive that gentleness is obliterated.” About.com’s review by Tim Grierson emphasizes the diversity in songwriting, stating that Wonderful, Glorious “offer variations on familiar styles and delivering a few delightful curve balls in the process.”

 

Several reviewers have noted the positive and uplifting themes of the lyrics, such as The Observer’s Phil Mongredien and Jon Clark of Drowned in Sound whose review stated that “the negativity often present in Eels records is less noticeable here; in fact the record contains many optimistic, if particularly frank and defiant, testimonials.” Michael Gallucci of The A.V. Club writes that the lyrics express E’s relief after Eels’ concept album trilogy. Writing for NME, Kevin E. G. Perry contrasts the optimism of the lyrics with E’s personal tragedies, concluding that “part of the triumph of this record is just how upbeat he sounds while talking about everything from love and loss to mortality itself.” Paste’s Ryan Reed considers the positivity “awkwardly forced” leading to an album of “lifeless non-revelations married to engrossing tunes”.
