Ten years of Mark Oliver Everett's bruised, funny and fiercely melodic songwriting land in one place on Meet The Eels: Essential Eels, Vol. 1 (1996-2006), spread across two yellow LPs.
First released in 2008, the collection gathers 24 songs from the band's first decade, tracing a line from the alt-rock radio breakthrough of Beautiful Freak through Electro-Shock Blues, Daisies of the Galaxy, Souljacker, Shootenanny! and Blinking Lights and Other Revelations. Few songwriters have turned grief, loneliness and family tragedy into music this warm, and fewer still could follow it with a wink.
It opens with "Novocaine for the Soul", the woozy, sample-laced single that introduced E to the world, then moves through the lullaby glow of "My Beloved Monster" and the soft-focus romance of "Fresh Feeling". Later, "Hey Man (Now You're Really Living)" makes a defiant case for loving life, scars and all. A Jon Brion remix, a live recording and a deadpan cover version keep things unpredictable, proof that Everett never took the idea of a hits package too seriously.
Across four sides, it plays like a mixtape from a friend who knows exactly when to make you laugh and when to let a sad song breathe.
For newcomers it is the ideal front door, and for longtime fans it is a reunion with old companions.
