Hombre Lobo

Eels' seventh studio album Hombre Lobo. Eels is the ever-changing project of singer / songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Mark Oliver Everett (aka E). Hombre Lobo was recorded entirely at E's studio in los angeles with Koool G Murder (bass, keyboards and guitar) and Knuckles (drums and percussion). The album was written about desire and is more blood and thorns rather than hearts and flowers. The album keeps faith with the band's established sonic template of downbeat pop shrouded in distortion. It's E's lyrics that are the true, bitter joy of this record, sacrificing nothing of his wit in pursuit of heartbreaking, heartbroken directness.
