«Flashback« Eels – Novocaine For The Soul / In My Dreams + Little Bird /// The Burning Ear

this paint by numbers life is fucking with my head

♫ Eels – Novocaine For The Soul / 1996

Oh E, you great bearded weirdo. Your ’96 classic is still your best in my book but that hasn’t stopped you from cranking out music since then. 2 albums in the past year alone! Whatever your knowledge base of Eels, E, his beard, or his music, here are a couple jams for you. Although his music is always pleasant, if not beautiful, it’s a bit to snoooze inducing for my general tastes. However, I did fall for “In My Dreams” from last years wherewolf (via his beard) inspired Hombre Lobo. “Little Bird” is the first single from the recently released End Times which sees E recording and producing every sound in his own basement. And yes, that solitude does come across in the music. Let’s leave it at that and just let you just listen.

Still one of my top 10 albums of all time. I must have listened to this album several hundred times over when I was in college. Never miss an Eels show when they come through Seattle.

Yeah? I don't think I've ever even heard the whole album. Damn. What are your thoughts on their latest stuff?
