Eels delve into some 'Witchcraft' in January

Eels will release their fourteenth studio album Extreme Witchcraft on January 28 via PIAS and the band’s own E Works Records; pre-save/pre-order and stream the song “Good Night On Earth” HERE.

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. A spring 2022 tour of Europe and America, starts in March in Belfast; get tickets HERE.

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.”
