EELS
Release 15th Studio Album
EELS TIME!
Via E Works / Play It Again Sam
7th June 2024 – Critically acclaimed rock group EELS have today released their highly anticipated, 15th studio album EELS TIME! via E Works/Play It Again Sam. Available here.
Recorded between Los Feliz, California and Dublin, Ireland, EELS TIME! consists of twelve brand new tracks with collaborators Koool G Murder, The Chet, Tyson Ritter, Sean Coleman and more.
The record comes on the heels of band leader E’s recovery from open heart surgery following the band’s 2023 Lockdown Hurricane tour of Europe and North America. In an open letter to his fans, E shared details of the operation that saved his life, signing off with: “I’m a lucky guy. I’m so glad I got to say hi again.”
EELS TIME! has seen high critical praise with Classic Rock describing it as “an impeccable, emotionally undulating, ultimately defiant set of songs from an old master”, while elsewhere MOJO remarked in a 4* star review “let’s be grateful that Eels Time! rolls on”. The album’s singles ‘Goldy’ and ‘If I’m Gonna Go Anywhere’ were premiered on BBC 6 Music.
