Eels - End Times (2010)

Cover pic.



The Eels eighth studio album, following on a mere six months from their last, 'Hombre Lobo'. Recorded in the basement of lead singer/songwriter Mark Oliver Everett, better known as 'E', on an antiquated four track tape machine, this is very much his 'break-up' album dealing with the end of an unspecified relationship
Contemporary cartoonist Adrian Tomine lent his hand to the albums art work for the cover.
'End Times', is the sound of an artist growing older in uncertain times. It's a "divorce album" with a modern twist: the artist equates his personal loss with the world he lives in losing its integrity. When Everett finds comfort "in a dying world," the 'End Times' he speaks of isn't about "Mayan calendar conspiracy theory bullshit," he says, but, "the state of the desperate times we live in. The bottom line-ness of it all. The end of common decency. The loss of caring about doing a good job. These are tough times. Who can you trust?"
