Eels is a US alternative rock band that was formed in 1995 by singer and songwriter Mark Oliver Everett, also known as E. The band's lineup has frequently rotated both in the studio and on stage.

With their unique blend of alternative rock, indie pop, and folk influences, Eels have gained a dedicated following over the years. Known for their introspective lyrics and emotionally charged performances, the band has released numerous critically acclaimed albums.

From their breakthrough debut album "Beautiful Freak" to later releases like "Electro-Shock Blues" and "Blinking Lights and Other Revelations," Eels continue to captivate audiences with their raw and honest approach to music. With each new release, they push boundaries and explore new sonic territories while staying true to their signature sound.

180 Gram Vinyl with Download. Head Eel Mark 'E' Everett purges his soul with a smile on 'Shootenanny!', as he delivers bursts of bittersweet wit and light-hearted drama. Unlike solemn 1996 epic 'Electro-Shock Blues' and 2001's thorny 'Souljacker', E's songwriting here puts the emphasis on light melodies and clean pop craft. While his limber genre-jumping often earns comparisons to Beck, there's also some of Wilco's Jeff Tweedy in E's razor-burn voice. And though 'Shootenanny!' isn't out on 'Yankee Hotel Foxtrot's experimental ledge, it has a similar unruly twang that injects a dose of whimsy into soul-searching songs such as 'Love of the Loveless'. 'Wrong About Bobby', for instance, glides along on sunny, jangling guitars while E tries and fails to forgive a violent grudge. By mixing sweet with sour, E's warm and fuzzy mope rock sounds great whether it's blasting across a garden on a sunny day or playing in the background on a rainy night.
