Album of the day
Beautiful Freak (1996) is the album by musician Mark Oliver Everett where he began using a full band and the name Eels (in an attempt to get the records in the same general location in the stores as his previous works under the name "E"). It contains an interesting mix of lo-fi, rock and pop songs including the singles "Novocaine for the Soul" and "Susan's House". "My Beloved Monster" was later used in the soundtrack of Shrek. Influences include hip hop, and grunge. The two other musicians listed as members of the "band" on this album are drummer Butch Norton and bass player Tommy Walter.
Mental is the standout song which is my recommendation to you. Great harmony and wanderful record of Eels.
