• Track Listing

In a seemingly backwards sort of way, Mark "E" Everett of Eels was feeling down and out a few years ago and hinted at leaving music behind—but now, in the midst of a pandemic, he’s at his most creative and prolific. His second album in two years chronicles the rise and fall of a relationship, complete with songs both ebullient and despairing. As always, these Eels tracks sound gorgeous: "Baby Let’s Make It Real," "Who You Say You Are," "Anything for Boo," "Are We Alright Again" and more. The exquisite new Eels album arrives now on CD, 180-gram vinyl or in a deluxe edition. That set starts with the album on double 180-gram translucent red vinyl with animated zoetrope LP labels (now that is wicked-awesome). You also get the album on CD (with booklet), a lithograph print, stickers, fridge magnets and a 12" slipmat with the zoetrope design! Pias America.
