E Works

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.

The eighth Eels studio album, End Times, is the sound of an artist growing older in uncertain times. An artist who has lost his great love while struggling with his faith in an increasingly hostile world teetering on self-destruction. Largely self-recorded on an old four track tape machine by eels leader Mark Oliver Everett aka E in his los angeles basement, it's a 'divorce album' with a modern twist: the artist equates his personal loss with the world he lives in losing its integrity. When Everett finds comfort 'In a Dying World,' the end times he speaks of isn't about 'mayan calendar conspiracy theory bullshit,' he says, but, 'the state of the desperate times we live in. The bottom line-ness of it all. The end of common decency. The loss of caring about doing a good job. These are tough times. Who can you trust? walter cronkite is just a ghost.' While the last Eels album, Hombre Lobo tackled the subject of desire, 'the before,the spark that ignites everything,' everett says, End Times is about the other side: the after.and while Hombre Lobo was written from the point of view of a fictional character, End Times is pure real life. Brutally unblinking, End Times may be the elecro-shock blues of break-up albums. While the 1998 eels album Electro-Shock Blues dealt with the untimely deaths of Everett's mother, father and sister, End Times takes a hard look at losing love.
