13th Floor New Song Of The Day: Eels – Baby Let’s Make It Real
All is not lost! Today we bring you new music from Eels...Baby Let’s Make It Real.
Its the first new Eels in a couple of years, so listen and enjoy! Here’s the record company blurb:
EELS have unveiled a surprise new single ‘Baby Let’s Make It Real‘ today, recorded at the band’s Los Feliz, California studio. Band leader Mark Oliver Everett, a.k.a. E, says: “How ‘bout a new song to get your mind off your troubles for 3 minutes and 55 seconds? Play it again if you want to double that time.”
‘Baby Let’s Make It Real’ is the band’s first release since their 2018 album The Deconstruction. Their first in four years, the album was released to widespread acclaim and described as “an album to treasure” by MOJO, “a reflection on both the pain and joy of life” by NPR’s Fresh Air, and “a career-straddling greatest hits collection, in which all the ‘hits’ are brand new,” by CLASH. The Los Angeles Times said: “It seems ridiculous to describe the new EELS work as ‘a headphone record,’ because, in the era of earbuds, most are. Yet here we are, lost in the intricate melodies, arrangements and textures swirling through The Deconstruction.”
The ever-changing project of principal singer/songwriter E (Mark Oliver Everett), EELS have released 12 studio albums since their 1996 debut, Beautiful Freak. In 2008, E published his highly-acclaimed book Things the Grandchildren Should Know and starred in the award-winning Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives documentary about the search to understand his quantum physicist father, Hugh Everett III.
2015 saw the release of the band’s extraordinary Royal Albert Hall live album and concert film. In the same year, the band’s ‘Fresh Blood‘ served as the theme song to HBO’s The Jinx and from 2016 to 2018 E appeared in Judd Apatow’s Netflix original series Love. EELS released their 12th studio album, and first in four years, The Deconstruction in April 2018 and toured America and Europe in 2018 and 2019.
