Eels have announced that it’s Eels Time! The new album is out June 7th via E Works/Play It Again Sam, but you can hear the contemplative acoustic lead single, “Time,” now. Stream it below.
Eels Time! features 12 all-new tracks, and was helmed by principal singer-songwriter Mark Oliver Everett, who collaborated with artists like Koool G Murder, The Chet, Tyson Ritter, Sean Coleman, and more.
Pre-orders are ongoing. Check out the artwork and full tracklist below.
The opening single, “Time,” is a gentle retrospective on life and meaning. The track was recorded at the band’s first in-person session post-pandemic, according to a press release. “Time/ There was nothing but time then,” Everett sings — sharing that familiar ennui many felt during the height of pandemic lockdowns.
Marking the 15th studio album from the veteran indie rockers, Eels Time! follows 2022’s Extreme Witchcraft and 2020’s Earth to Dora.
