Eels – “The Deconstruction”

Eels – “The Deconstruction”

Yesterday, Eels, the long-running project from orchestral-pop depressive Mark Oliver Everett, teased the April release of a new album called The Deconstruction, which will be the follow-up to 2014’s The Cautionary Tales Of Mark Oliver Everett. And today, Everett has shared the album’s title track, which opens the LP. It’s a lush, expansive studio-rocker with a string arrangement reminiscent of Jon Brion and a vaguely funky sense of rhythmic push-pull. Everett’s work can be easy to underrate, but this is a genuinely gorgeous piece of music, and you can hear it below. Also below, check out the new album’s tracklist.
