EELS leader
Mark Oliver Everett, aka E, co-produced the record with PJ
Harvey producer and guitarist John Parish, marking the first
time the two have recorded together since 2001’s Souljacker
album.
Says E: “John Parish is one of the most even-tempered, polite
people I’ve ever met. A true gentleman. Actually he’s
probably THE most polite person I’ve ever met. But when he
gets into the studio he becomes a mad scientist. If you make
music with John Parish, you get stuff no one else does. He has
a really unique toolbox and musical outlook. Perhaps his
politeness is a coping mechanism to keep Mr. Hyde under
control when he’s out of his laboratory.”
EELS have had one of the most consistently acclaimed careers
in music. The ever-changing project of principal
singer/songwriter E (Mark Oliver Everett), EELS have released
13 studio albums since their 1996 debut, Beautiful Freak. In
2008, E published his highly acclaimed book Things the
Grandchildren Should Know and starred in the award-winning
Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives documentary about the search
to understand his quantum physicist father, Hugh Everett III.
2020’s Earth To Dora album, received extensive critical praise,
and was described as “their sweetest natured album ever” by
The Independent and awarded four stars in MOJO and NME.
