Eels

The EELS’ classic 2001 SOULJACKER LP will be reissued on 140 gram red vinyl June 20th. The album was co-produced by John Parish, known for his work with PJ Harvey, and recorded at the EELS home studio in Los Angeles in early 2001. It’s a snarling, swaggering beast: part gutter-blues, part twisted lullaby, From the unhinged stomp of ‘Dog Faced Boy’ to the cinematic sweep of ‘Fresh Feeling’, SOULJACKER is restless and unpredictable, channeling Tom Waits’ grit and the underbelly of American storytelling. This red LP reissue brings the album’s dark heart back into the light. Says E: “I had to fire two managers in order for you to hear this one. Hope you appreciate the effort.”
