Souljacker

EELS

A gritty, distorted pivot into garage rock and urban blues. Mark Oliver Everett trades his toy-box melancholy for thick fuzz pedals and outsider character sketches.

September 19, 2001 · DreamWorks Records

Find on Amazon

A gritty, outward-facing defiance that masks a deep-seated empathy for social outcasts.

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive fuzz-guitar riff that kicks off Dog Faced Boy with a snarl.
The transition from the mechanical beat of Souljacker, Part I into the more organic, haunting Part II.
The contrast between the sunny, ironic lyrics and the unsettling delivery in What Is This Note?.
