Apple Trees - Eels (2010)
In honor of their appearance at First Avenue. Tonight at 7pm.
Come on down and boogie with E, The Chet, Koool G Murder & Knuckles. It’s going to be the personification of ROCK. This track is more somber though, but a nice reminder that we’re all part of something greater than ourselves, be that scary, alienating or exhilarating.
Tonight is guaranteed to be at least ONE of those things.
Symphony for Toy Piano in G Minor - E (1992)
Long before EELS became the darlings of alternative rock with Novocaine For The Soul in 1996, Mark Oliver Everett (sometimes known as E) cut two albums as a solo artiste, A Man Called E & Broken Toy Shop.
Both are filled with odd pop songs that, while bogged down at times with oppressive early-nineties production, still shine after almost two decades.
E, always a peddler of plinkity-plonk sounds, was no doubt inspired by his small toy piano and felt it was time for it to take its rightful place in the spotlight at the orchestra hall.
