Eels

Centered around the twisted mind of e, band offers a novel twist on post-grunge, lo-fi American indie-rock.

Biography

Although marketed as a band, the leader and focus of alt-rockers Eels is undeniably singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist E (real name Mark Oliver Everett). A pair of underappreciated solo releases appeared in the early '90s, 1992's A Man Called (E) and 1993's Broken Toy Shop, before E formed Eels. The group's debut, 1996's Beautiful Freak, spawned a sizable MTV hit with [roviLink="MC"]"Novocaine for the Soul." Electro-Shock Blues was a dark sophomore effort, and their third album, 2000's Daisies of the Galaxy, failed to expand the group's following. Follow-ups included 2003's Shootenanny! and 2005's Blinking Lights and Other Revelations, the latter an ambitious double album including 33 songs. ~ Greg Prato
