Ahead of the release of their anticipated fourteenth studio album Extreme Witchcraft, out January 28 via PIAS and the band’s own E Works RecordsEELS release the official music video for their new single, “The Magic;”  pre-save/pre-order the record HERE.
A psychedelic voyage across the ocean floor, the animated music video for the track sees EELS leader Mark Oliver Everett, aka E, exploring an aquatic wonderland devoid of sunlight but teeming with surreal creatures and bioluminescent life.
E co-produced Extreme Witchcraft with PJ Harvey producer and guitarist John Parish, marking the first time the two have recorded together since 2001’s
Souljacker album. “The Magic” follows the singles “Good Night On Earth” and “Steam Engine.” Previewing the record, DIY Magazine calls Extreme Witchcraft “honest to god rock n’ roll,” while Uncut praises its “wit, tunes and third-degree self-awareness” and MOJO notes that “E delivers again on his percussive, groove-rich latest.”
EELS are also set for their upcoming Spring, 2022 Lockdown Hurricane tour of Europe and America, starting March 11 in Belfast; get tickets HERE.
Says E: “John Parish is one of the most even-tempered, polite people I’ve ever met. A true gentleman. Actually, he’s probably THE most polite person I’ve ever met. But when he gets into the studio he becomes a mad scientist. If you make music with John Parish, you get stuff no one else does. He has a really unique toolbox and musical outlook. Perhaps his politeness is a coping mechanism to keep Mr. Hyde under control when he’s out of his laboratory.”
EELS have had one of the most consistently acclaimed careers in music. The ever-changing project of principal singer/songwriter E (Mark Oliver Everett), EELS have released 13 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. 2020’s Earth To Dora album, received extensive critical praise, and was described as “their sweetest natured album ever” by The Independent and awarded four stars in MOJO 
and NME.
