Add Date: January 26
Artist: Eels
Album: End Times
Label: Vagrant
Genre: Alternative/Acoustic
Comments: Eels leader (frontman, singer/songwriter, band staple, brain behind it all, etc) Mark Oliver Everett has created an impressively authentic record with End Times, which is his "divorce album" following his split with his wife back in 2005. The record is sad and weary without being heavy-handed; it's impressively still a record you want to listen to. It's a stripped down effort, but the sparse instrumentals, highlighted by the tired, sometimes fuzzy, yet very appropriate vocals, blend the record together in a wonderful way. It's a surprisingly fulfilling record and a welcome addition to the winter musical selections (note: beware the DNP tracks!).
