Listen to Eels’ Garage-Rock Fueled ‘The Magic’
Eels just unveiled yet another track off their forthcoming fourteenth studio album. The eccentric rockers released “The Magic.” [embedded content][embedded content] Following the galactic jaunt “Good Night On Earth” and the smooth cruise of “Steam Engine,” “The Magic” feels like older Eels—and maybe even ’90s Ween—but with gritty, yet charming garage rock passion. All of the tracks precede and are off Extreme Witchcraft. Extreme Witchcraft is out January 28 via PIAS and the band’s own E Works Records, and is available for pre-order. To support the record, Eels is embarking on their Lockdown Hurricane spring tour of Europe and America, beginning March 11 in Belfast. Tickets are also available now.

Eels announced their newest album Extreme Witchcraft, set to arrive on January 28, 2022. It will be their 14th overall. Frontman Mark Oliver Everett, a.k.a. E, co-produced the record with PJ Harvey producer John Parish, which is the second time the two are collaborating since the 2001 Souljacker. A song off the record “Good Night On Earth” is out now on streaming services. Listen to “Good Night on Earth” below: “John Parish is one of the most even-tempered, polite people I’ve ever met,” Everett said. “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 copin...
25 Artists, 25 Albums, 25 Years of Vagrant Records
For much of the last quarter-century, Vagrant Records has been synonymous with the emo and alternative scenes. Much like how Epitaph Records and Fat Wreck Chords have become well-established homes for punk, Vagrant remains one of the most significant labels in the world thanks to a catalog featuring hundreds of beloved albums and dozens of all-time classics. Beginning with the launch of the Get Up Kids’ Something to Write Home About on Sept. 28, 1999, Vagrant went on a several-year run that included some of the biggest names of the 2000s, ranging from Saves the Day to Alkaline Trio, Dashboard Confessional to Rocket from the Crypt. But rather than hanging the past when artists left for to major labels, breaking up, or otherwise parting ways with Vagrant, the label adapted, expandi...
Eels Drop New Single ‘Are We Alright Again’
Eels shared the second single, “Are We Alright Again,” from the group’s upcoming Earth to Dora album, which drops on Oct. 30 via E Works/PIAS. The song was written in the early days of the pandemic and “is a “kind of a quarantine daydream that I needed to have,” singer E (aka Mark Oliver Everett) said in a statement. With the exception of “Are We Alright Again,” the songs on Earth to Dora “came about just before the pandemic hit and changed everything. I’m hoping they can be, maybe kind of soothing or something. To hear songs dealing with things we are dreaming about getting back to,” E said. Check out “Are We Alright Again” below. [embedded content] It’s Eels’ 13th full-length EELS album and first since 2018’s The Deconstruction, and features musicians Koool G Murder, The Chet and P-...
