Eels - Blinking Lights - VINYL LP

Limited Edition Vagrant 25th Anniversary 3LP on on Crystal Violet Vinyl. Featuring Tom Waits, Peter Buck & John Sebastian. The 2005 album Blinking Lights and Other Revelations is about InchGod and all the questions related to the subject of God,Inch says it's creator, Mark Oliver Everett, also known as Eels leader E. InchIt's also about hanging on to my remaining shreds of sanity and the blue sky that comes the day after a terrible storm,Inch he adds, Inchand it's a love letter to life itself, in all it's beautiful, horrible glory.Inch The album is full of unusual instrumentation and some notable guest stars. One song (InchLast Time We SpokeInch) features Everett's hound dog, Bobby, Jr., howling a lonesome solo. A few songs later, Eels-fan-turned-collaborator Tom Waits cries a solo - literally - (InchGoing FetalInch). Later on, R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck (making his second appearance on an Eels album) plays dobro, guitar and bass (the Buck co-written InchTo Lick Your BootsInch), and on an album that prominently features the autoharp on several songs, it's exciting to know that the king of rock & roll autoharp, The Lovin' Spoonful's John Sebastian, makes a rare appearance, playing autoharp on one track (InchDusk A Peach in the Orchard,Inch co-written by Sebastian).

We are very happy to present this collection of completely unknown yet outstanding pieces to the public. We hope that the charm of the Latin Song of Songs text together with the absolutely unique and elaborate musical settings we chose for this program will surprise and captivate you with it's eternal beauty. (Agnieszka Budzinska-Bennett, founder and director of Ensemble Peregrina)

Critically acclaimed rock group Eels present their 16th studio album, COOKIE HAPPENED. It follows 2024's critically acclaimed Eels TIME!, which saw Eels continuing their remarkable late-career run with a collection of songs that balanced reflection, humor, and hard-won optimism. With it's latest offering, Eels once again demonstrate that few artists are better at finding meaning in life's messiest moments. Speaking about the album title, E (Mark Oliver Everett) says InchAll of this will be forgotten. Every joy, accomplishment and hardship will one day become so irrelevant it will be as if none of it occurred. But as the great philosopher of our times, Cookie Monster once said 'Me no cry because cookie is finished. Me smile because cookie happened.' This will all be forgotten. But isn't it still a beautiful thing that it happened?Inch
