The Eels’s 12th studio album was performed by E (Mark Oliver Everett) and longtime collaborators Koool G Murder and P-Boo alongside The Deconstruction Orchestra & Choir. It was produced by E, with some songs produced by Mickey Petralia for the first time since 1998’s Electro-Shock Blues. Eels mastermind E says of the new album, ”Here are 15 new EELS tracks that may or may not inspire, rock or not rock you. The world is going nuts. But if you look for it, there is still great beauty to be found. Sometimes you don’t even have to look for it. Other times you have to try to make it yourself. And then there are times you have to tear something apart to find something beautiful inside.”

If you were laying bets on who would turn out to be 2020’s Mr Brightside, only the bravest would back Mark ‘E’ Everett. The indie star is reclusive, recently divorced, prone to recording albums about intense personal trauma and psychological collapse (1998’s ‘Electro-Shock Blues’; 2014’s ‘The Cautionary Tales Of Mark Oliver Everett’). Yet there he was on ‘Are We Alright Again’, the second single from this 13th Eels album, singing his vision of post-Covid idyll: all “smiling skies”, marching bands and avian bong buddies (“Hey, Mr Bluebird, give me a hit of that”).
