About
More than 15 albums spanning indie rock and alternative genres — vinyl pressings from 1996's Beautiful Freak to 2024's Eels Time!.
Centered around frontman Mark Oliver Everett, Eels has released a diverse catalog since 1996's debut Beautiful Freak, which featured alternative rock with hits like "Novocaine for the Soul". The band’s lineup fluidly adapts, with Jonathan "Butch" Norton as a long-time drummer. Albums such as Electro-Shock Blues (1998) reflect personal loss, while Daisies of the Galaxy (2000) introduces richer instrumentation. Throughout the 2000s, offerings like Souljacker and Blinking Lights and Other Revelations expanded their indie rock palette. Recent releases Earth to Dora (2020) and the forthcoming Eels Time!
