To celebrate its 25th anniversary, rediscover the legendary album from the Californian band! Eels’ album Souljacker, released in 2001, is a roaring, arrogant beast – halfway between gritty blues and a deranged lullaby. Produced by John Parish (PJ Harvey), it marked a radical turn for Mark Oliver Everett: he abandoned the orchestral warmth of Daisies of the Galaxy in favour of a sharper sound, made of biting guitars, unsettling loops and lyrics oscillating between menace and melancholy. From the wild pounding of Dog Faced Boy to the cinematic scope of Fresh Feeling, Souljacker is an unstable and unpredictable record, channelling the roughness of Tom Waits, the eccentricity of Beck, and the dark side of American storytelling. This 1LP red vinyl reissue breathes new life into the album's dark heart, bringing it back into the spotlight.
