Eels frontman E has branded the band’s unhappy new Christmas monitor ‘fairly relentless’
The singer, born Mark Oliver Everett, 60, has launched the band’s third festive track – ‘Christmas, Why You Gotta Do Me Like This’ – which serves as the ultimate monitor on a brand new compilation ‘Eels So Good: Important Eels Vol. 2 (2007-2020.)’
He instructed The Solar about his emotions on Christmas: “I’m all for the jolly Christmas and I’ve had some very jolly Christmases myself.
“As a child rising up in America, I used to be fairly glad simply to take a seat at the hours of darkness watching the tree lights blink. I didn’t have my Nintendo Change!
“However I do suppose it’s necessary to do not forget that BEFORE Ebenezer Scrooge turns into the great man who buys all people Christmas dinner, Tiny Tim’s fairly depressing.
“So I assumed, ‘Let’s do some music for him.’”
E added concerning the melancholy really feel of his band’s new monitor: “It’s fairly relentless, however at the least the sleigh bells mechanically evoke snow falling.
“As an grownup, I’ve had Christmases, most likely like all people, that are simply very dangerous timing.
“I wished to do a track for that man or lady who has simply purchased an costly current for his or her companion after which bought damaged up with.”
The track options the traces: “I put up my lights and I hung the mistletoe/So why did you must depart me on their own?”
It comes after two extra upbeat Eels’ Christmas songs, together with B-side ‘Every part’s Gonna Be Cool This Christmas’ and ‘Christmas Is Going To The Canines’.
