The Eels
As their name suggests, eels can be a slippery entity. Their own freakish
beauty derives in part from an ability to change gears at a moments notice,
careening from glockenspiel to twisted guitar rock to jazzy samples within
the space of one song.
And though E's lyrics often explore feelings of isolation and sadness,
they invariably find some hope and redemption. The compassionate spirit of
eels' music will no doubt reach listeners who know what it's like to feel
freakish, but who are, as the song "Beautiful Freak" puts it, "flying
inside."
