Eels - Earth To Dora

Earth To Dora is the thirteenth studio album by American indie rock band Eels, released in October 2020 via E-Works Records.

Not too long ago, rock stars were bespectacled nerds who crafted sonic splendour in the solitude of their garages or bedrooms. Mark Everett - or E, as he calls himself - is one of these endangered species. The Eels, the collective in which he is the sole steadfast member, struck alt-rock gold with 1996’s “Novocaine For The Soul” (from their debut ‘Beautiful Freak’ album).

Recorded at the Eels’ Los Feliz, California studio, ‘Earth To Dora’ was produced by band leader Mark Oliver Everett aka E and performed by E, Koool G Murder, The Chet and P-Boo.

Speaking about the new record, E says: “These songs came about just before the pandemic hit and changed everything. I’m hoping they can be, maybe kind of soothing or something. To hear songs dealing with things we are dreaming about getting back to. Or maybe people are dealing with some of the topics right now as well. Just one song was done in the thick of the early pandemic days, ‘Are We Alright Again’, which is kind of a quarantine daydream I desperately needed to have.”

This album is on black vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve with a printed inner sleeve, pressed in Europe via E-Works Records.
