Eels "The Deconstruction" Limited Edition Boxset
This is Eels first studio album in 4 years and twelfth studio album overall in an illustrious chart-dominating career since being formed in California back in 1995 by singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Mark Oliver Everett or E as he is known on stage.This album has received raving reviews from a majority of the music critics.
Everett has described the album as “Here are 15 new EELS tracks that may or may not inspire, rock, or not rock you. The world is going nuts. But if you look for it, there is still great beauty to be found. Sometimes you don’t even have to look for it. Other times you have to try to make it yourself. And then there are times you have to tear something apart to find something beautiful inside.”
We worked with PIAS on various formats for the Limited Edition Boxset which includes:
- 2 X 12” TRANSLUCENT PINK VINYL IN PRINTED, UNCOATED SPINED SLEEVES WITH BLACK POLY INNERS
- PRINTED CMYK BOX ON UNCOATED PAPER
- 28PP PERFECT BOUND LYRIC AND BOOKLET WITH EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS
- 12” SIZE ALBUM ARTWORK PRINT – UNCOATED 300GSM BOARD
- DIGITAL A4 HANDWRITTEN “RUSTY PIPES” LYRICS – SIGNED BY E E “TIP & STRIP” PEN
"Today is the Day" is the first music video released for the new album. The Album was recorded at The Compound, Los Feliz, and The Pie, Pasadena, California, the new album was performed by E, Koool G Murder and P-Boo, with The Deconstruction Orchestra & Choir, and produced by Everett alongside Mickey Petralia, who returns to the production chair for the first time since the band’s 1998 second album Electro-Shock Blues. Sonically, Petralia’s fingerprints are all over the record and in many ways it’s the next logically progressive step for the band from ESB to their present-day incarnation, a refreshingly near-full-circle approach that fits snugly with their more realised sound.
The Deconstruction album has been released and is available to buy on the EELS Website.
