Eels

Eels, an American rock band, were formed in 1995 by singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Mark Oliver Everett, commonly known as E. The band’s music, characterized by its melancholic and introspective lyrics blended with a mixture of rock, pop, and folk sounds, has garnered a dedicated following over the years. Eels came into the spotlight with their 1996 debut album "Beautiful Freak," which included the hit single "Novocaine for the Soul." This success set the tone for the band's continuously evolving sound, which often reflects Everett's personal experiences, including the complexities of his family ties and existential ruminations.

Despite a rotating cast of band members, E has remained the constant core of Eels, driving the band's creative output. The group's longevity has led to an extensive discography that witnesses E's prowess in crafting lyrics that navigate through life's darker shades contrasted often by a wry sense of humor. Recent albums like "Earth to Dora" (2020), and their latest release "Extreme Witchcraft" (2022), exemplify the band's sustained ability to offer fresh material. Singles such as "Anything For Boo" and "Are We Alright Again" showcase their ever-melodic sensibility even as Eels continue to explore raw emotional terrain and the complexities of the human experience.
