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 Heavyweight Vinyl. Debut studio album from Eels from 1996. E, the guitarist, vocalist and songwriter with LA band Eels, had already recorded two solo albums before teaming up with drummer Butch and bassist Tommy to produce 'Beautiful Freak'. Opener and single 'Novocaine for the Soul' set the tone: melodic, articulate pop that, like fellow LA musician Beck, makes startling and inventive use of samples, beats and odd arrangements. The Eels' music takes in post-Nirvana grunge, soul, country, hip-hop, and even jazz, all without sounding derivative; E's intensely personal lyrics are similarly multi-faceted, blending wit, angst, disaffection, and surreal urban detail - as in the mournfully soundtracked cross-city trek of 'Susan's house'. Throughout the eclectic swirl of musical influence and misanthropic irony the band never lose the ability to craft affecting laid-back pop songs and subtle, naggingly catchy hooks. an inspired album, and that rare thing, an art-house rock record full of memorable tunes.
